Why is it important for Ulysses to keep his disguise in the scene where he is reunited with his father? Why does he feel the need to test his father’s loyalty in this way?

Answers

He wants to ensure that even his own family will be by his side regardless. He had nothing to do at that point but to see if his father also really knows him. Trust is also important in the family as much as it is important when meeting strangers and acquaintances.

In his 20 years away from his home, Ulysses struggles through the Trojan War and a difficult journey home. He overcomes all the obstacles put in his path through his own wits and with the help of the gods. His lengthy struggle and the many betrayals seem to have affected him psychologically. He learns that he cannot trust people. He even approaches his son and wife while in disguise.


His father remains a suspect for disloyalty until Ulysses tests him. He tells Laertes a story about how his alter ego once gave shelter to Ulysses. He sees Laertes choke up and cry on hearing about his son, which proves his loyalty.

16. In Colonial America children went to school on foot in wagons and in sleighs.
correct
incorrect

Answers

The answer to your question would be that 14 is correct because it does not require a comma. The sentence is a clear example of the use of cumulative adjectives. Cumulative adjectives don't separately modify the noun that follows even though they are stacked up before the noun. That fact is that the adjective before the noun pairs with the noun as a unit, and then the adjective before that unit modifies that.

Sentence 15 is correct because it does not require a comma either because of the same reason (the use of cumulative adjectives). As regards sentence 16, it can be said that it is incorrect because it does requiere a comma since the prepositional phrase "in Colonial America" is an introductory phrase.
14. correct
15. correct
16. incorrect
