Deeply troubled [hektor] spoke to his own great-hearted spirit: "ah me! if i go now inside the wall and the gateway, poulydamas will be first to put a reproach upon me, since he tried to make me lead the trojans inside the city on that accursed night when brilliant achilleus rose up, and i would not obey him, but that would have been far better. now, since by my own recklessness i have ruined my people .” what does hektor’s perspective reveal?

Hektor's perspective reveals he is hesitant to enter the gateway, although he sees it is the only valid option, based on the mistakes of his past.

I'm guessing that the options are

A. His plan to destroy Achilleus

B. His frustration with fellow Trojans

C. His goals and dreams for the future

D. His regret about previous actions

The correct answer is D. His regret about previous actions

Explanation:

"Now, since by my own recklessness I have ruined my people" shows that this is how he feels

I just took the test and this was the correct answer

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
