Answer 1

Read the following excerpt from a news article in order to answer the question.

"It has been almost one year since the mysterious abduction of eighteen year old Stephanie Seward. Her mother has tirelessly searched for her, posted signs in stores and neighborhoods, gone door to door throughout the community, and pled with anyone to come forward with any information. She has struggled with despair during this time, losing her job and her home as she poured all of her energy into searching for Stephanie, but she always held out hope. Yesterday, all of these months of fear and longing came to an end. Stephanie has been found! Her captor, Henry Hadres, willingly released her. His explanation for his actions: he just wanted someone to love, someone to brighten his life."

These events mirror a Greek myth. Choose the sentence that best alters the introduction of this article to incorporate an allusion to the myth.
Choose one answer.
a. "It was no magic trick that the Seward family experienced yesterday afternoon; it was a modern-day miracle."
b. "Yesterday, the sun shone brighter and the grass appeared greener; our modern-day Persephone was reunited with her mother."
c. "The Seward family could not believe their eyes; our modern-day Zeus finally cracked the case and brought Stephanie home yesterday."
d. "Like Athena, Stephanie Seward suddenly appeared yesterday afternoon after months of being held captive by a modern-day Hercules."

Answer 3

Then I have this one

Read "In Memoriam, [To Sleep I give my powers away]" by Lord Alfred Tennyson to answer the question.

To Sleep I give my powers away;
My will is bondsman to the dark;
I sit within a helmless bark,
And with my heart I muse and say:

O heart, how fares it with thee now,
That thou should fail from thy desire,
Who scarcely darest to inquire,
"What is it makes me beat so low?"

Something it is which thou hast lost,
Some pleasure from thine early years.
Break thou deep vase of chilling tears,
That grief hath shaken into frost!

Such clouds of nameless trouble cross
All night below the darkened eyes;
With morning wakes the will, and cries,
"Thou shalt not be the fool of loss."

Tennyson uses ______________________ to create a rhythm in his poem.
