Read the excerpt below and answer the question.

"i reached the crag of scylla and dire charybdis’ vortex
right when the dreadful whirlpool gulped the salt sea down."

what is the comparison that is being made in this passage?

scylla is being compared to a whirlpool.
odysseus is trying to avoid being drowned by charybdis.
charybdis is being described as a human who can "gulp".
charybdis is a six-headed monster.

C) Charybdis is being described as a human who can "gulp".

Explanation: In the given excerpt of "The Odyssey" by Homer, we can see a brief description of the time when Odysseus passed between Scylla and Charybdis, after the Island of Sirens. Scylla is a six headed monster who swallows one sailor for each head, and Charybdis is a whirlpool that could swallow the entire ship, in the excerpt we can see the comparison of Charybdis with a human who gulps (..."the dreadful whirlpool gulped the salt sea down").

hey there!

the reasoning behind university’s having students create prompts is to mainly get to know the person better. they want to know their interests, goals, personality,

it’s also a good way for the university to see the persons focuses in life. for example, if someone’s room is very organized and clean, usually all aspects of their life are the same.

so really, having people prompting to apply to a university is so the college can get more information about that person.

hope this you! if you need any more details, i’d be happy to
