Read the excerpt from part 1 of the odyssey. now zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north a storm against the ships, and driving veils of squall moved down like night on land and sea. the bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind. we saw death in that fury, dropped the yards, unshipped the oars, and pulled for the nearest lee: then two long days and nights we lay offshore. what theme is best revealed by this conflict? with cooperation, crews can defeat the gods. dangerous ocean travel claims many lives. rest is required for all who work hard. people must respect the wrath of the gods.

The last option is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The Odyssey is a book by ancient Greek poet Homer and it narrates what happened after the Battle of Troy (told in The Iliad) and the long trip back home that Odysseus and his crew took. In literature, a theme is the main idea of the author's work (major theme) or the main idea in a passage (minor theme.)

In this case, we can see that people must respect the wrath of the gods because the speaker describes the difficult conditions that can be found if it doesn't happen; it also mentions that the fury can be very similar or close to death.

we would need to be able to read the passage in question to determine which factor allowed david believe he could defeat goliath. post the passage, and i'd love to out.
