Click to read "The Story of Icarus and Daedalus," by Ovid and "Musée des Beaux Arts," by W. H. Auden. Then answer the question. Which line(s) from the poem parallel(s) this portion of Ovid's myth? Icarus, the boy, stood and watched, unaware that he was witnessing his downfall. Sometimes he ran to gather up the feathers which the wind had blown away, and then handled the wax and worked it over with his fingers, making it difficult for his father to work. When at last the work was done, Daedalus, waving his wings, found himself lifted upward and hung suspended, hovering in the air. He next made wings for his son, Icarus, and taught him to fly, as a bird tempts her young ones from the lofty nest into the air. When all was prepared for flight, he said "Icarus, my son, you must keep at a moderate height, for if you fly too low the damp air from the sea will clog your wings, and if you fly too high the heat from the sun will melt them. Keep near me and you will be safe.' While he gave these instructions and fitted the wings to his son's shoulders, Daedalus' face was wet with tears, and his hands trembled. O A. None of the lines of the poem focus on this part of the myth. B. everything turns away / Quite leisurely from the disaster O C. the ploughman may / Have heard the splash, the forsaken cry, / But for him it was not an important failure; D. the expensive delicate ship that must have seen / Something amazing, a boy falling out of the sky,​

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”

Read the quotation from "an occurrence at owl creek bridge." and now he became conscious of a new disturbance. striking through the thought of his dear ones was a sound which he could neither ignore nor understand, a sharp, distinct, metallic percussion like the stroke of a blacksmith’s hammer upon the anvil; it had the same ringing quality. he wondered what it was, and whether immeasurably distant or near by—it seemed both. its recurrence was regular, but as slow as the tolling of a death knell. he awaited each stroke with impatience and—he knew not why—apprehension. the intervals of silence grew progressively longer, the delays became maddening. with their greater infrequency the sounds increased in strength and sharpness. they hurt his ear like the thrust of a knife; he feared he would shriek. what he heard was the ticking of his watch. which best describes the effect of the narration in the excerpt? it suggests that the man being executed feels tranquil and at peace. it suggests that the narrator is sympathetic to the man being executed. it suggests that the plot will become less tense as the story continues. it suggests that the story will become more intense and mysterious.
