D). The giant has a violent temper.

Explanation:

As per the question, option D i.e. 'the giant has a violent temper' displays the inference about the giant that is best supported by the given excerpt from the book 9 of 'The Odyssey'. This attitude of the giant is reflected through the use of words that have been employed by Homer to highlight his rage and temper like 'boil over', 'Ripping off the peak', 'heaved it so hard'. When Odysseus(the protagonist of the text) reaches the land of one-eyed cyclops, the author displays his violent and raging temper. Therefore, option D is 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.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

In the reading, statement on the assassination of martin luther king, jr., which of the following inferences is best supported by the second paragraph? martin luther king dedicated his life to love and to justice between fellow human beings. he died in the cause of that effort. in this difficult day, in this difficult time for the united states, it’s perhaps well to ask what kind of a nation we are and what direction we want to move in. for those of you who are black—considering the evidence evidently is that there were white people who were responsible—you can be filled with bitterness, and with hatred, and a desire for revenge. question 5 options: a) the speaker is urging the same non-violent response that was preached by the slain martin luther king, jr. b) the speaker doesn’t want people to be angry about the death of martin luther king, jr. c) the speaker is trying to encourage racial resentment. d) the speaker wishes he hadn’t been born an american citizen.

Will give if correct read the passage first of all, if someone says your dream is impossible, they’re wrong. you can’t prove that something is impossible-all you know is that [it] hasn’t been done yet. people said no one could scale mount everest, but in 1953, sir edmund hilary and tenzing norgay gazed down upon the world from its summit. people said that man could not fly, but in 1903, orville and wilbur wright made the first sustained powered flight in a heavier-than-air machine. people said, “okay, we admit that someone could climb mount everest, and we admit that man has learned to fly, but no one will ever, ever walk on the face of the moon.” if we can send three men a quarter of a million miles away and bring them home safely, is there any great task we cannot accomplish? which identifies the textual evidence that best supports the claim: the authors purpose is to persuade? a: the author shares historical information about the wright brothers. b: the author states that men have walked the moon. c: the author states that others who think your dreams are impossible are wrong. d: the author wants to know what tasks we cannot accomplish.
