Read the excerpt from the odyssey. six benches were left empty in every ship that evening when we pulled away from death. and this new grief we bore with us to sea: our precious lives we had, but not our friends. no ship made sail next day until some shipmate had raised a cry, three times, for each poor ghost unfleshed by the cicones on that field. which key details should be included in a paraphrase of this passage? check all that apply. a shipmate cried out three times for each life lost. six men from each ship lost their lives at cicones. the ships pulled away from shore during the evening. the men were greatly saddened by the loss of their friends. many of odysseus’s men did not escape with their lives

The men were greatly saddened by the loss of their friends. Many of Odysseus’s men did not escape with their lives

The correct answers are A, B and C.

Explanation:

To correctly paraphrase this passage it is very important to include these three elements.

The first piece of information that has to be present is the number of men who lost their lives during the attack: six from each ship.

The second and third elements are connected: funeral ceremonies were very important to the Greek, since they believed that, without a proper burial, the warrior's soul would never find peace.

This is the reason why the ships only pulled away from shore during the evening, after the proper ceremonies for the lost companions were held.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
