Read the passage from "The Royal House of Thebes."

In the course of their desolate wanderings Oedipus and Antigone came to Colonus, a lovely spot near Athens, where the one-time Erinyes, the Furies, now the Benignant Goddesses, had a place sacred to them and therefore a refuge for suppliants. The blind old man and his daughter felt safe there, and there Oedipus died. Most unhappy in much of his life, he was happy at the end. The oracle which once had spoken terrible words to him comforted him when he was dying. Apollo promised that he, the disgraced, the homeless wanderer, would bring to the place where his grave should be a mysterious blessing from the gods. Theseus, the King of Athens, received him with all honor, and the old man died rejoicing that he was no longer hateful to men, but welcomed as a benefactor to the land that harbored him.

Which statement accurately analyzes this passage from a historical perspective?

Answer:

Apollo promised that he, the disgraced, the homeless wanderer, would bring to the place where his grave should be a mysterious blessing from the gods.

It is accurate to analyze this passage from a historical perspective and speculate that those who heard this tale when it was first told may have thought that oracles could accurately foretell the future.

By taking the throne of Thebes prior to the beginning of Oedipus Rex, Oedipus unwittingly fulfilled a prophecy that he would kill his father, Laius, and marry his mother, Jocasta.

According to the oracle, Oedipus, a character from a Greek play, will kill his father and remain with his mother.

When he learns of this, he kills a fellow and flees his hometown in an attempt to avoid his doom. Later, he learns that the person he murdered was really his real father, proving the prophecy to have come true.

Oracles were therefore capable of making precise future predictions.

Which excerpt from I Never Had It Made best uses descriptive details to paint a picture for readers? In August 1945, at Comiskey Park in Chicago, I was approached by Clyde Sukeforth, the Dodger scout. He told me that the Brown Dodgers were looking for top ballplayers, that Branch Rickey had heard about me. Mr. Rickey wanted to know all about Rachel. I told him our hopes and plans. "You know you have a girl," he said heartily. "When we get through today, you may want to call her up." Because of his nature and passion for justice, he [Rickey] had to do what he was doing. He continued. His rumbling voice, the theatrical gestures, were gone. He was speaking from a deep, quiet strength. "I think I can play the game, Mr. Rickey," I said. The next few minutes were tough. Branch Rickey had to make absolutely sure that I knew what I would face.

Stage Set: Late in the evening in the Hammer House Boxing Gym, most of the regulars have left. A scattered few people still remain. In the background, a man uses a jump rope. A woman does push-ups.

(CAIN, a small boxer, sits on a bench unwrapping the protective tape off of his knuckles and wrists using his teeth. SERGIO, his sparring partner and best friend, cuts away at the tape on CAIN'S other hand.)
SERGIO: I know you've got a hand in there somewhere.
CAIN: (spitting the tape out of his mouth) Well, remember to stop cutting once you see bone.
(The people exercising in the background finish their workouts and move off stage, leaving the focus of the audience on CAIN and SERGIO.)
SERGIO: Right, like you'd be able to feel it otherwise. I don't even think you have bone in there. I think you've got anvils in your hands.
CAIN: Are you kidding? I'll need more than anvils come fight night. Doerkson is a monster in the ring. To bring him down, I'll need a lead pipe and a tank if you can spare them.
(Freed from the cast of protective tape, CAIN'S hands start to violently shake. CAIN closes them into a fist until they calm.)
SERGIO: What was that?
(CAIN stands up and walks over to a nearby heavy bag and starts to throw light jabs.)
CAIN: It's nothing, just nerves. It'll calm down after the fight.
SERGIO: Have you seen a doctor?
(CAIN'S light jabs get heavier.)
CAIN: Seriously, I'm fine. Just nerves.
SERGIO: You don't get nerves. You don't get worried or stressed. I know you. What's going on?
(CAIN'S heavy jabs get heavier as the heavy bag begins to sway.)
CAIN: I'm fine. Let it go.
SERGIO: You can't stonewall me. We're going to a doctor tonight. I don't want to see you end up like Motts, stumbling around, shaking, can't even hold a spoon to eat, let alone throw hands. He took too many punches to the head, and now, his head is like a snow globe—just little flakes floating around in there. As a matter of fact. . . .
(CAIN begins to pummel at the heavy bag, and the bag begins to rock violently.)
CAIN: Let it go! I'm not going to any doctors now. If I do, the athletic commission steps in. If they step in, they'll cancel the fight. They do that and I'm out of a purse. I need that money! And if you call yourself my friend, you'll keep quiet.
(SERGIO walks over and stops the swaying bag.)
SERGIO: It's your funeral.
(SERGIO walks away to the locker room. CAIN'S hands start to shake again until CAIN closes them into fists. The tremors stop.)
