Which of the following analyses most clearly explores the effect of historical context on a theme?
a. most epic poems begin in the middle of the action, and homer's odyssey is no exception; in fact, many of the most memorable scenes are told in flashback.
b. belief in the superiority and common sense of ancient greek customs is evident throughout homer's odyssey and is demonstrated in odysseus's interactions with others.
c. in the odyssey, homer relied on epithets such as "rosy-fingered dawn," which were used by ancient greek storytellers to make epic poetry easier to memorize.
d. in homer's odyssey, the idea of leadership comes up repeatedly and is embodied in the character of odysseus, whose poor leadership often leads to consequences.

B. Belief in the superiority and common sense of ancient Greek customs is evident throughout Homer's Odyssey and is demonstrated in Odysseus's interactions with others.

This analysis is the one that most clearly explores the effect of historical context on a theme. In this analysis, the author tells us that a theme present in The Odyssey is the fact that Greek customs are superior to others. This was a common belief during this historical period. Therefore, we can see that the historical context affects the theme of the work.

Option A does not discuss either the theme, or the historical context of the work. Option C discusses the historical context, but not the theme. Finally, option D discusses the theme, but not the historical context.

a. googly eyed

explanation:

the term "googly eyed" just sounds humourous to us. : )

the sentence that avoid faulty coordination is:

culture, which is well represented in philadelphia, plays a major role including theatre, music, and the visual arts.  

faulty coordination occurs when the writer gives equal importance two different ideas (clauses) which in fact are not equivalent. in order to correct a misplaced clause or idea, the writer can place less important or emphatic ideas in a relative clause as in the previous sentence.
