Answer:

King Minos demands fourteen Athenian youths each year to pay for his son’s life.  

The princess provides Theseus with a sharp sword and a ball of thread.

Theseus slays the Minotaur.

Aegeus falls into the sea and drowns.

Explanation:

"The Cruel Tribute" by James Baldwin is based on the Greek mythology of the  monster Minotaur and the tribute asked by King Minos.

As a form of revenge and re-compensation for his son's death, King Minos asked the city of Athens to pay an annual tribute of seven maidens and seven young men to his kingdom. One year, Theseus, the king's son decided to volunteer for the tribute. There, he met the princess who fell in love with him. So, before they were taken to the cave of the monster Minotaur, she provided a thread and a sword to Theseus. The thread was for them to find their way back to the entrance and the sword to kill Minotaur. Theseus slays the monster and escaped with the other youths, along with the princess. King Aegeus had told the men to put up a white sail if his son is alive. But in their excitement and happiness, they forgot to put up the white sail. When Aegeus saw the black sail still flying in the approaching ship, he fell into the sea and drowned.

Read the statement below. Then decide whether you agree or disagree with it. Be prepared to support your opinion with details from the speech. Here's your discussion prompt: The voting age in America should be changed from 18 to 16.

Answers

Answer:

I agree

Explanation:

There is a world-wide general development of teenagers becoming adults sooner (or teenagers with adult behaviour) in every possible way.

Modern technology (my little 5-year old daughter know how to use a cellphone better than I do) and a modern society, where the clear authoritarian generation-division of parents and children is diminishing, are factors that contribute to more and more 'teen-adults'.

So yes, I think it is a good idea. What should be a real point of discussion is  the deeply felt sence in this country that politicians no longer present the people anymore. There is something seriously wrong with the whole American democracy and its voting system.

In American society, romantic love is considered the main reason for people to marry. On the other hand, in some societies, romantic love is considered a form of obsession or madness. In fact, even in many societies where "true love" is not considered a form of insanity, arranged marriages are still the norm. For example, in many cultures it's believed that marriage is basically an economic arrangement. Thus, a farmer needs a wife both to bear children and to share the farm work while raising new "hands" as additional farm labor. In other societies, marriage is mainly about cementing connections between families. Indeed, most marriages between members of European royal or aristocratic lineages were primarily aimed at creating trust, loyalty, and mutual obligations between privileged and powerful families. 10. In the passage you just read, a basic contrast regarding ideals about marriage is signaled by which word or phrase? A. In fact B. In other societies C. On the other hand D. For example

Answers

The question is referring to a contrast so the proper phrase would be "on the other hand". 
This phrase means something along the lines of "looking at the other side" which refers to the other situation or event.
In fact means giving a true example
In other societies means examples of ideas from other places
For example is just giving an example
Hope this helped :)
