What does the following sentence start with?Weather permitting, the picnic will be held at the community park.

A. A prepositional phrase
B. An adjective
C. A past participle
D. An absolute construction

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: This sentence starts with D. an absolute construction. If you are unsure, just use the system of elimination to get the correct answer. A is incorrect because "weather permitting" does not have a preposition - the only preposition in the sentence is AT, which is found near the end of the sentence. B is incorrect because this construction is not an adjective - it does not modify a noun or a pronoun directly. C is incorrect because past participle of the verb to permit would be having permitted, and here, the present participle form of the verb is used. Thus, the correct answer is D.
Answer 2
Answer:

Correct answer would be D

When Athena departs from Telemachus and Nestor how does she reveal that she is a Goddess?

Answers

She takes the form of a bird and flies away :)

In the early sections of the Odyssey, Athena appears to Telemachus in disguise as Mentor. As Mentor, she gives Telemachus the confidence to speak to Nestor about his father, Odysseus. Nestor relates what he knows (which is little), but bids Telemachus seek his father with the same zeal Orestes took in avenging Agamemnon’s death. Nestor sends Telemachus to Sparta to seek information about his father, and the wise old king sends his son, Pisistratus, as a companion. Athena departs following these events.

When Athena departs from Telemachus and Nestor, she reveals herself to be a goddess by putting off her disguise and flying away in the likeness of a vulture (or eagle, depending on your translation). As the Richard Lattimore translation relates in Book 3, lines 371-377 (the spellings in his translation differ from some spellings in other translations):

So speaking, gray-eyed Athene went away in the likeness 
of a vulture, amazement seized on all the Achaians,
 and the old man was amazed at what his eyes saw. He took
Telemachos by the hand and spoke a word to him and named him:
‘Dear friend, I have no thought that you will turn out mean and cowardly
if, when you are so young, the gods go with you and guide you
thus.

Read the excerpt below from Life of Caesar by Plutarch and answer the question that follows.At Rome, moreover, Caesar won a great and brilliant popularity by his eloquence as an advocate, and much good will from the common people for the friendliness of his manners . . . . He had also a large and gradually increasing political influence in consequence of his lavish hospitality and the general splendour of his mode of life. At first his enemies thought this influence would quickly vanish . . . . [T]he man who is thought to have been the first to see beneath the surface of Caesar’s public policy and to fear it, . . . and who comprehended the powerful character hidden beneath his kindly and cheerful exterior, namely Cicero, said that in most of Caesar’s political plans and projects he saw a tyrannical purpose . . . .



Based on the excerpt above, which statement about Caesar is true?

A. Caesar was disliked by the common people.
B. Caesar had no desire for a political career.
C. Cicero believed Caesar had noble political intentions.
D. Caesar gained popularity and political influence but also gained enemies during his life.

Answers

the answer will be D)The Caesar gained popularity and political influence but also gained enemies during his life

The correct answer is: D) Ceasar gained popularity and political influence but also gained enemis during his life.

This excerpt clearly shows this as we can see both sides. In one side Ceasar's popularity and political influence is shown. His skills and charisma made him a well known leader between the elite and the common people of that era.

On the other hand, later in the paragraph the word "enemies" is shown, meaning he was not surrounded only by good intentions. One of this enemies is named in the text, Cicero, he realized that Ceasar hospitality and manners were not desinterested, they were political maneuvers to gain more power and control.

We can see that the point of the text is to describe both the followers and the enemies that Ceasar gained.

Option A is incorrect as the paragraph states:  "...much good will from the common people for the friendliness of his manners" showing they liked him.

Option B is proven wrong through the text as his actions were directly related to his political career.

And option C is wrong because Cicero is labeled as one of his first enemies as he discovered his true intentions.
