Select the correct text in the passage. which two pairs of lines in this excerpt from homer's iliad contain epithets about helen? to helen's bed the gods alone assign hermione, to extend the regal line; . . a golden distaff gave to helen's hand; and that rich vase, with living sculpture wrought, . . he ceased; a gush of grief began to rise: fast streams a tide from beauteous helen's eyes; . . at helen's beck prepare the room of state; beneath an ample portico they spread . . in this suspense bright helen graced the room; before her breathed a gale of rich perfume.

The most accurate parts that contains an epithet is "And that rich vase, with living sculpture wrought" and "Before her breathed a gale of rich perfume."

Explanation:

Take into account that an epithet is known as any phrase or word which is used to describe an attibuted quality. In these examples from the text we can see how a rich vase takes place to describe Helen's attractive figure. In addition to this, "a gale of rich perfume"could be understood as Helen's scent which makes men feel attracted by her.

11-32. the main character in the parable, the forgiving father, whose character remains constant throughout the story, is a picture of god. in telling the story, jesus identifies himself with god in his loving attitude to the lost. the younger son symbolizes the lost (the tax collectors and sinners of that day, luke 15: 1), and the elder brother represents the self-righteous (the pharisees and teachers of the law of that day, luke 15: 2). the major theme of this parable seems not to be so much the conversion of the sinner, as in the previous two parables of luke 15, but rather the restoration of a believer into fellowship with the father. in the first two parables, the owner went out to look for what was lost (luke 15: 1-10), whereas in this story the father waits and watches eagerly for his son's return. we see a progression through the three parables from the relationship of one in a hundred (luke 15: 1-7), to one in ten (luke 15: 8-10), to one in one (luke 15: 11-32), demonstrating god’s love for each individual and his personal attentiveness towards all humanity. we see in this story the graciousness of the father overshadowing the sinfulness of the son, as it is the memory of the father’s goodness that brings the prodigal son to repentance (romans 2: 4).

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.
