Which piece of evidence best supports this claim, and why? Passage Claim: Parents should encourage their children to play role-playing video games to support reading comprehension and critical thinking skills. Evidence A: A famous blogger says that he did better in school growing up because he played video games after school. Evidence B: Jamie Sanchez, a teacher, writes in her journal article that the standardized test scores of students who play video games in her district are overall higher than those of students who do not.

Evidence B better supports this claim.  While Evidence A may seem more appealing to children, it is not backed up by specific test scores or teacher credentials.  Parents can always request evidence of test scores.

hospitality is mentioned many times in odysseus. it is known as xenia in the poem. one notable example is.

here is a poor man come, a wanderer,

driven by want to beg his bread, and everyone

in hall gave bits, to cram his bag—only

antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder

the lines show odysseus disguised as a beggar and shares his bread with another beggar in a weird way because he had to defeat him in order to eat. however, odysseus does not kill the old man and even shows his hospitality.

explanation:

have a great day!

b. and i with my fighting heart, i thought at

first / to steal up to him [the cyclops].   the cyclops’ actions first odysseus to take

action after killing his men and trapping in the cave revealed his intent of

doing them harm.   that is why odysseus

blinded him to enable him and his men to escape.
