Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north
a storm against the ships, and driving veils
of squall moved down like night on land and sea.
The bows went plunging at the gust; sails
cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.
We saw death in that fury, dropped the yards,
unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee:
then two long days and nights we lay offshore
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining.
Then we put up our masts, hauled sail, and rested,
letting the steersman and the breeze take over.

Ineed . read the passage, and choose the two (2) inferences that are most firmly based on the given information. although lie detector tests are based on a sound principle, they are not alwaysaccurate. the test is based on the fact that people become emotionally “stirred up”when they lie. the lie detector can sense physical changes that accompany suchemotional responses. but an innocent person may react emotionally to a keyquestion.thus, he or she appears to be lying when actually telling the truth. and criminals who lie often may feel no guilt about anything. they can therefore tell huge lies without showing the slightest emotional ripple on the lie detector. without an emotional response, there are no physical responses to detect. 1. criminals never feel any guilt about their crimes. 2. lie detector tests are not foolproof. 3. anyone can easily fool the lie-detector machine. 4. an emotional response by an innocent person
