Which best states one of the author's purposes for
including this information in the text?
O to give the reader important facts about a historical
event
O to describe what a historical event felt like to a
participant
O to tell the reader how a historical event affects people
today
O to persuade the reader that a historical event was
tragic

covert: hidden or secret

candid: truthful and straightforward

what i get from these phrases is covert means undercover or underground and that's where the flower is in april. on the other hand, may is the month where flowers start to bloom and thats the reason why candid is being used as a word to describe the blossoming period of a flower.

hope this answer you.

i would say the correct answer is not concrete.

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.
