Which lines from the text best support this theme? "The wind that carried west from Ilium brought me to Ismarus, on the far shore, a strongpoint on the coast of Cicones. I stormed that place and killed the men who fought." "I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down under their rowing benches, and called the rest: All hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home." He drew to his fist the cruel head of an arrow for Antinous just as the young man leaned to lift his beautiful drinking cup, embossed, two-handled, golden: the cup was in his fingers: the wine was even at his lips: and did he dream of death? "Spare your own people. As for ourselves, we'll make restitution of wine and meat consumed, and add, each one, a tithe of twenty oxen with gifts of bronze and gold to warm your heart."

Answer:

"I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down under their rowing benches, and called the rest: All hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home."

Explanation:

Homer's "The Odyssey" is an epic narrative about the journey of Odysseus and his men after the Battle of Troy, returning to their home in Ithaca. But the journey would take decades before they could set foot on the island, encountering mortals and gods along the way, who will pose as obstructions to their journey.

One characteristic of a leader is that a good leader takes responsibility for those in their charge. This theme is also found in this epic in the character of Odysseus when he marched the men he had sent to survey the land of the Lotus-eaters. When they failed to return safely back to the ship, courtesy of the Lotus that they were offered, Odysseus decided to deal with it on his own. So, he brought the men back and took them to the ship, ensuring that they are safely tied to the deck, and sailed out of that place before more of his men succumb to the lotus.

Thus, the correct answer that best supports the theme of such leadership quality is "I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down under their rowing benches, and called the rest: All hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home."

Read these lines from the poem. They refer to the biblical story of Samson.


Upon the pillars of the temple laid

His desperate hands, and in its overthrow

Destroyed himself, and with him those who made

A cruel mockery of his sightless woe;

The poor, blind Slave, the scoff and jest of all,

Expired, and thousands perished in the fall!


In the Bible, God gives Samson immense physical strength. But Samson is tricked by evil people into losing his strength. The evil people capture Samson, blind him, and make him a slave. Samson asks God to give him strength once more so he can seek revenge on the evil people, and God does. Samson destroys their temple, killing many of them, and killing himself in the process. Longfellow compares the slaves in America to Samson.


How does this allusion affect the tone of the poem?



A. The poem sounds like a religious lecture or sermon, designed to inspire slaves to rise up against their masters.



B. The poem’s tone is stern, comparing slaves to the evil people who captured Samson.



C. The poem sounds like a caution that slavery does not only harm slaves, but may damage the entire country.



D. The poem’s tone is critical of slaves because they do not stand up for themselves the way Samson does.

Read the excerpt from Votes for Women:

Taking a more aggressive approach to women's suffrage was arguably more impactful in the short term. Alice Paul learned how to use this aggressive approach in England and brought it to the United States. For a while, she held a leadership position with the National American Woman Suffrage Association. She helped organize the March on Washington held on March 2, 1913, the day before President Wilson's inauguration. The parade was led by a human rights lawyer riding a white horse, and behind her women marched in costumes reflecting the nations that had already given women the vote. Multiple floats, bands, brigades, and costumed women paraded on through Washington, D.C. However, during the parade of protest, some men attacked the women and behaved poorly, and the police did nothing to stop it. The actions of the men led to an inquiry, which brought women's suffrage significant public awareness. However, some women did not agree with Paul's methods. Paul ultimately formed a separate group, which became known as the National Woman's Party. This group of women held marches and hunger strikes. They were also the first organization to organize a picket of the White House in January 1917. While their choice to picket during World War I angered some, their methods did make an impact and paved the way for women's suffrage to become law.

Both peaceful and aggressive approaches contributed to the ratification of the 19th Amendment on August 18, 1920. On November 2, women across the nation voted, which marked the beginning of the ongoing struggle to reform the rights of women in the United States.
