Answer 2

You were absolutely correct! The answer is C. Epic= looong poem about history or culture, or folklore. An example would be "The Iliad" by Homer. Or you could use "The Odyssey" as an epic example (no pun intended). :)

Answer 7

Thanks:)

Answer 8

Well, this one is a little tricky. I mean, the poem starts out with "Help me" so I understand why you picked D. *I* would pick D. But in Greek mythology, this song was also a lure, a beautiful song that was intended to trap and kill men. Was it really just a cry for help? The end of the poem says "it is a boring song, but it works every time."

Answer 9

I would go with A.
