which statements describe how antinous is portrayed in this excerpt from book 21 of the odyssey? antinous saw, and said:
"hence to your fields, ye rustics! hence away,
nor stain with grief the pleasures of the day;
nor to the royal heart recall in vain
the sad remembrance of a perish'd man.
enough her precious tears already flow—
or share the feast with due respect; or go
to weep abroad, and leave to us the bow,
no vulgar task! ill suits this courtly crew
that stubborn horn which brave ulysses drew.
i well remember (for i gazed him o'er
while yet a child), what majesty he bore!
and still (all infant as i was) retain
the port, the strength, the grandeur of the man."he said, but in his soul fond joys arise,
and his proud hopes already win the prize.
to speed the flying shaft through every ring,
wretch! is not thine: the arrows of the king
shall end those hopes, and fate is on the wing! he is deceitful and unfaithful to ulysses.
he is trustworthy and loyal to ulysses.
he wants to win the contest and take the place of ulysses.
he wants to win the contest to win penelope’s heart.
he mocks ulysses's bravery and strength.

At first he mocks the old man for wanting to try to string the bow and shoot.  He goes further by saying that only Ulysses could string the bow and he witness how he was able to do it effortlessly and shot it with great accuracy. He was surprised at how easily the beggar strung the bow and shot it through the rings.  At this point it was revealed that the old man was Ulysses and was no ready to take his revenge.

< > answer < >

multiple settings

< > reasoning \ evidence < >

novels have multiple settings. a setting is a place or surrounding when a main event or event takes place. not everything happens in just one scene or setting. yes, there can be one *main* setting, but there is definitely not just one. b is incorrect. novels do not have limited characters. there are many characters in a novel, depending on how many the writer wishes to add in. c is incorrect. there is not just a single theme. there are many themes. another word for "theme" is the subject. there can be many subjects and topics. once again, there are many, depending on however many the author wishes to add or include. d is incorrect. yes, novels *can* have no solutions, based on what the author would like. but typically, novels have a solution. the solution might be in "book 5", but there is normally still a solution.
