Read the excerpt from the odyssey. then i sent out two picked men and a runner to learn what race of men that land sustained. they fell in, soon enough, with lotus-eaters, who showed no will to do us harm, only offering the sweet lotus to our friends— but those who ate this honeyed plant, the lotus, never cared to report, nor to return: they longed to stay forever, browsing on that native bloom, forgetful of their homeland. which central idea should be included in a paraphrase of this excerpt? the men sent by odysseus to investigate the land they had landed upon became forgetful after eating lotus plants. the lotus-eaters meant no harm and simply offered the lotus plant to odysseus’s men as a gesture of kindness. the lotus was a sweet plant that made men forget everything except the idea of obtaining and eating more lotus plants. the men sent ashore by odysseus were swayed by the hospitality of the lotus-eaters and abandoned the idea of returning home.

(2) it also kept predators away, allowing early humans to sleep securely. (3) fire, in fact, has been a significant factor in human development and progress in many ways. (4) other obvious benefits of fire are its uses in cooking and in hunting. (5) probably even more important, however, is that learning to control fire allowed people to change the very rhythm of their lives. (6) before fire, the human daily cycle coincided with the rising and setting of the sun. (7) with fire, though, humans gained time to think and talk about the day’s events and to prepare strategies for coping with tomorrow. the sentence that expresses the main idea is: (type the number of the sentence. then click “go.”)

Which word best describes the author's tone in this excerpt from "that spot" by jack london? i don’t think much of stephen mackaye any more, though i used to swear by him. i know that in those days i loved him more than my own brother. if ever i meet stephen mackaye again, i shall not be responsible for my actions. it passes beyond me that a man with whom i shared food and blanket, and with whom i mushed over the chilcoot trail, should turn out the way he did. i always sized steve up as a square man, a kindly comrade, without an iota of anything vindictive or malicious in his nature. i shall never trust my judgment in men again. why, i nursed that man through typhoid fever; we starved together on the headwaters of the stewart; and he saved my life on the little salmon. and now, after the years we were together, all i can say of stephen mackaye is that he is the meanest man i ever knew. a. excited b. ironic c. indignant d. playful
