Read the excerpt from 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
worn out and sick at heart, tasting our grief,
until a third Dawn came with ringlets shining

Please Help!!! I will give brainliest 20 points!! here is the story: he Persistent Gardener It was Jilly's last day in the green house. Summer was coming to an end and so was the growing season. School would be starting next week and the fall plants were well enough along to allow Mrs. T. to manage the greenhouses herself. As Jilly worked the plants for the last time, she tried to focus on the new school year instead of the details of the greenhouse. It had been a hard, hot summer, but Jilly was not ready for it to be over. Jilly moved down the tables, tucking a stray hair behind her ear with a gloved and already dirty hand. She'd repotted the last of the rosemary plants and mixed a new batch of potting soil already. Mrs. T. now had enough potting soil to last her through September. Jilly looked at a couple of maiden-hair ferns that were beginning to yellow in their small pots. She loved their lacey fronds and had grown concerned over the last few days that they needed repotting or a boost of fertilizer. She had also worried that she would continue to find chores that needed doing, plants that needed help, right up until the minute she left today. She hated unfinished things. She hated details not being tended to. The sun had been above the trees and blasting the greenhouse for a good hour now. Jilly listened for the familiar whirr of the automatic vents opening. When the greenhouse reached a certain temperature, the vents would open automatically. The vents would have a cooling effect for an hour or so, and then no amount of breeze would put a dent in the heat. Mrs. T. often claimed Jilly must be part reptile as she was able to work longer in the greenhouse than anyone else. The heat just didn't bother her. In fact, Jilly often looked forward to the warmth of the greenhouse and feeling the heat seep into her bones. It felt good to her, but she understood others who found it hard to breathe in 100 degree temperatures. Jilly heard the greenhouse door bang, and looked up from her ferns to see Mrs. T. walking down the aisle with a tray of young plants. Mums, Jilly supposed, the flowers everyone wants for fall. She had helped Mrs. T. take cuttings and plant the small stems in new pots. They were doing nicely from the look of things. "We will keep these in here for now," said Mrs. T. "They are getting too much rain outside." It had been a rainy couple of days. Jilly knew, as well as anyone, that overwatering could kill potted plants quickly. "Do you remember when I overwatered those mint plants?" Jilly asked Mrs. T. "I used to think no one could kill a mint plant," Mrs. T. said, laughing. "Well I am full of surprises, apparently," Jilly replied. Jilly remembered the sad green plants that just kept looking more and more wilted no matter how much water she gave them. It was a beginner's mistake, and Jilly had been so embarrassed for making it. "That you are," replied Mrs. T. "But I know you learned a lesson you won't ever forget." "Of course. Herbs like their roots damp, not flooded," Jilly answered. "Well that is not the lesson I was thinking of," Mrs. T. said. Jilly wondered for a minute what the lesson could be. She straightened the rows of geraniums in front of her, picking up one or two to check for aphids under the leaves. It had been a summer full of lessons, some especially hard for a girl who thought she knew a lot about plants. She breathed deeply the warm, humid air. She hated the cooped up feeling of air conditioned air, the feeling of being cut off from the sun. She knew school and the library would offer only these uncomfortable feelings and little time to spend in the sun or with plants. She had come to understand this over the summer-her need to be around growing things was huge. "I'm not sure, Mrs. T." she said, "I've learned so much this summer. I couldn't possibly say what you are thinking." "You did learn many lessons, Jilly. You knew so much when you started. You've gone farther than any other assistants I've had. I will miss you." "And I will miss you," Jilly replied. "Thank you for the opportunity and the job." Jilly watched Mrs. T. put the tray of mums down on the center row of tables. Wearing her familiar brown apron, Mrs. T. looked just as she had on Jilly's first day. "My pleasure, of course, dear," Mrs. T. replied. "My hope for you, as for all my assistants over the years, is that you will learn as much about yourself as you do about growing plants." Recalling her thoughts all morning, about what she enjoyed about her summer job, Jilly realized she knew much more than just how to not drown the mint. Here are the questions: I Have a answer circled in I just need to verify That is why one is circled THX!!!

The following passage came from an information source on page 62 of a book titled People in Space by Rowena Howard. People in Space by R. Howard Cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin's 108-minute orbit of the Earth on April 12, 1961, made Russia the first nation to both put a human in space, and into orbit. On his experience in space, Gagarin reported that he saw objects floating in the cabin and that he himself was unable to remain seated in his chair, but was hanging in the air. This effect is called weightlessness, which occurs due to the zero gravity conditions in space. John Glenn was the first American to orbit the Earth and was put into orbit in February 1962. He orbited the earth three times before landing successfully. Other astronauts including Alan Shepard, Jr., Scott Carpenter, and Virgil Grissom followed John Glenn to become the first set of Americans to make space flights. Later in 1962, the American astronaut Walter M. Schirra Jr. , and Russian cosmonauts Andrian G. Nikolayev and Pavel R. Popovich were launched to orbit the earth. The first woman in space was a Russian, Valentina Tereshkova. She made forty-eight orbits of the earth before returning safely. On May 25, 1961, the race to reach the moon was made public when President John F. Kennedy of the United States declared, "I believe that this nation should commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth. " On July 16, 1969, the Apollo 11 moon mission was launched. Four days later, on July 20, the great dream was realized when Neil Armstrong became the first human to set foot on the moon. Michael Collins and Edwin Aldrin were with Armstrong, and they became the succeeding humans to step on the moon.

According to MLA guidelines, which of the following best summarizes what is written about moon landing in this passage?
A.) Apollo 11, which was launched on July 16, 1969, became the first successful manned mission to enter space and land on the moon (Howard).

B.) President Kennedy believed in the possibility of landing on the moon, and was proved right in 1969 by three American astronauts (People in space, Howard).

C.) The American dream of landing on the moon and exploring it was finally fulfilled in
1969 by astronaut Neil Armstrong in the Apollo 11 mission (Howard 62).

D.) Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Edwin Aldrin left on the Apollo 11 spacecraft and landed on the moon on July 20, 1969 (People in space 62).
