Galileo Galilei was an influential scientist and one of the early developers of the refracting telescope. In 1632 Galileo published a book called Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, in which he compared the Copernican view of a heliocentric universe, one where the sun is at the center, with the geocentric view, one in which the Earth is at the center. The Church took offense as to how Galileo portrayed the geocentric view using a character named Simplicio, which has undertones of simpleton in the Italian language, and he was put on trial before the Roman Inquisition. The Inquisition ordered Galileo to recant his ideas, his book was banned, he was forbidden from publishing anything else, and he was sentenced to house arrest for the rest of his life. I guess it's not just what you say that's important but how you say it. (5 Points)

2) Galileo was punished severely for publishing his book
3) The earth is at the center of the universe

The passage discusses the scientific contributions of Galileo Galilei, his support for the heliocentric model of the universe, and the severe punishment he faced from the Roman Inquisition due to his work.
The main idea in this passage is concentrated on Galileo Galilei, his contributions to science as an early developer of the refracting telescope and the publication of his book. Notably, the passage highlights Galileo's exploration of the heliocentric (sun-centered) and geocentric (Earth-centered) systems of the universe. Amid significant contention, Galileo favored the heliocentric system, which was contrary to the church's belief in the geocentric model. As a result of his publication and the manner in which he presented these contradictory ideas, Galileo was, indeed, punished severely by the Roman Inquisition. He was sentenced to house arrest and his work was banned.

The simile in the given sentence is 'my legs were as wobbly as...'. A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things using 'like' or 'as'. In this case, the student is comparing their legs to something that is wobbly. The phrase after 'as' is missing, so we don't have the complete simile. To complete the simile, you could say, for example, 'my legs were as wobbly as jelly' or 'my legs were as wobbly as a newborn giraffe's'. The choice of the second part of the simile depends on what you want to convey about how wobbly your legs were.

c. Because he fears the army will set his castle on fire
d. Because one of the witches' prophecies has come true
The correct answer is D. because one of the witches' prophecies has come true.
At the beginning of the play, a witch made a prophecy about Macbeth - she told him that he will become king soon, but that he will die when the Birnam Wood comes near his castle. He scoffed at this because he thought this was impossible, but when that actually happened, he started fearing for his life (and he did die in the end).
Odysseus expected the Phaecians to be generous and wanted to accept their offerings because the Phaecians were known as models of hospitality. Moreover, Odysseus believed that telling them an entertaining story would make the Phaecians help him.
In Odyssey, the Phaecians are a group of people who inhabit the island of Scheria, which is ruled by Alcinous and Arete. They are skilled with different activities in the ocean. For that reason, they assure Odysseus returns safely to Ithaca. However, they are punished by Poseidon for being hospitable and generous with Odysseus later in the story.
