What motivates Odysseus to tell a lie to the Cyclops? Odysseus knows that Poseidon is the Cyclops’ father.
Odysseus is afraid the Cyclops will steal their ship.
Odysseus does not want to reveal their only means of escape.
Odysseus does not know what has happened to his ship.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: He lied to him because he knew that the Cyclops would call his brothers, when blinded, so he said his name was "nobody" so as to have the Cyclops yell out: "Nobody has blinded me". This in turn caused his brothers to not react at all, because they thought that gods had blinded his brother, therefore he is yelling that Nobody blinded him. Let's say then that the third sentence is the only one that can fit the story.

The presence of an unreliable narrator means __________.

Answers

The presence of an unreliable narrator means that the reader doubts the credibility of the author.

Unreliable narrators are almost always first-person narrators. Sometimes, the author's incredibility is seen from the very beginning of his work, he may be making a statement that is known to be untruth or a claim that is beyond reasoning. He may also state that he is mentally ill or impaired thus not able to tell a story correctly and accurately. At times, the falsehood of the described story is not revealed till the very end, the reader discovers some facts that prove the story void or incorrect. It would be a twisting ending that would make the reader reconsider his point of view of the story he had just read.

Sometimes, the author's unreliability is never fully revealed leaving the reader wondering about the intent and purpose of the story.
The presence of an unreliable narrator means that you cannot trust the accuracy of the information he/she gives you, they may be lying to the reader. 

Do you agree with the author’s argument that some people can fall in love at first sight

Answers

I'm not sure what you are referring to, but my opinion is yes. I wholeheartedly agree that love at first sight is possible.

Then again I'm a hopeless romantic so...

Anyway, here's what scientists say about it.

"Love at first sight is not a sign you have found the right one. It is more related to physical attraction and lust than long-term romantic love."

I hope this was helpful :)

Which cultural celebration in Central America and the Caribbean mixes African, Native American, and European religious traditions?A. Santeria
B. Diaspora
C. Carnival
D. Ecotourism

Answers

Answer:

The cultural celebration in Central America and the Caribbean that mixes African, Native American, and European religious traditions is Santeria. The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

Santeria is a cultural celebration made to worship saints; it is originally from Africa, but has been developed by the americans among West-African descendants, especially in Cuba. This celebration is also influenced by Roman catholicism. The ceremonies take place in house-temples or "casa de santos" called by the ones who participate as ilé.
The correct answer is A. Santeria.

The other options are not even religious traditions. Diaspora is actually people from your country who emigrated. A carnival is a giant party, and ecotourism is pretty self explanatory.

Now Romeo is beloved and loves again, Alike betwitched by the charm of looks, But to his foe supposed he must complain, And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks: Being held a foe, he may not have access To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear; And she as much in love, her means much less To meet her new-beloved any where: But passion lends them power, time means, to meet Tempering extremities with extreme sweet.
