Explanation:

n the sentence, "Hampton's biennial Rosebud Contest is always held at the Coliseum," the word "biennial" means that the Rosebud Contest takes place every two years. This means that the contest is not held annually, but rather every other year.

For example, if the Rosebud Contest took place in 2020, the next contest would be held in 2022, and then in 2024, and so on. So, option C, "every two years," is the correct answer.

____________________ is the part of an author’s voice that refers to the emotional atmosphere created in the piece.a. Tone
c. Diction
b. Mood
d. Style

Answers

It could be either tone or mood, and I cannot tell with certainty which one is the correct answer. Both of them evoke some kind of feeling, but mood refers to the reader's feelings about the novel, whereas the tone refers to the author's feelings.

Which lines from homers " the odyssey "best shows an example of hyperbole ? a ) with that i boarded ship and told the crew to embark at once and cast off cables quickly .
b) a dozen vessels sailed in my command and to each crew nine goats were shared out and mine alone took then .
c) i am odysseus , son of laertes , known to the world for every kind of craft - my fame has reached the skies .
d) now we stared across at the cyclops shore, so near we could even see their smoke , hear their voices , their bleating sheep and goats .

Answers

The correct answer is answer choice C, "I am Odysseus, son of Laertes, known to the world for every kind of craft - my fame has reached the skies". A hyperbole is, simply put, an exaggeration. Odysseus' fame has not literally reached the skies; he is simply exaggerating his fame to get his point across. For instance, when someone wants to go somewhere, and wants to convince a friend to come with them, they might say 'everyone's going', or something along those lines. However, everyone in the world is not literally going; that someone is simply exaggerating to make a point.

What present day technology is most likely a forerunner to the science fiction robot?A.The nuclear reactor
B. the printing press
C. the military drone
D. he x-ray

Answers

Answer:

C. the military drone .

Explanation:

Science fiction is a literary genre that explores potential consequences of a particular form of technology, invention, or discovery in a dystopian or utopian setting.  

The figure of the robot, in fact, is such a product of both historical (the figure of the automaton) and literary manifestations (like in Asimov´s literature). As such, the military drone, with its capacity to be active, in relative terms, independently of human control, could be a forerunner to a specific science fiction robot that could very well become a reality one day.  
My answer would be...

C. The milotary drone.
