Who are adraste, alcippe, and phylo? a) they are crewmates of telemachus and mentor/minerva from ithaca, left behind at king nestor’s palace when telemachus and pisistratus went by chariot to menelaus’s kingdom. b) they are handmaidens of helen, being the ones who brought along all her paraphernalia for her, so she would be comfortable when she greeted the guests. c) they are servants of the suitors, who are under the authority of the true mentor back in ithaca. d) they are egyptian servants who accompanied polybus and alcandra back to their own land. butler's "the odyssey."

I think the answer is D. because when I did research on it, it said that they where servants.

If this answer is wrong I'm really sorry. :-))

the right answer is 6

the present continuous is a verb tense which is mainly used to indicates that an action is in progress at the moment of speaking.  

it is formed using: person + verb to be (am/is/are) +verb + - ing form  

example: i am studying at this moment .

in addition, the present continuous is also used in order to express things that will or will not happen in the near future.

example: i am having dinner with some friends tonight.

the speaker sometimes   uses it   to express that an action is repeated and it causes irritation on the part of the speaker

example: my sister is constantly complaining about everything.
