However we think of it, it is a dawning period and one which—in its scope and potential—promises to dwarf much of what has gone before. Those who have given careful thought to the matter are convinced that while some caution is in order, the new era is not one to be approached with timidity, inhibited imagination or too much convention. Neither is there any point in trying to hold off the tempo of this oncoming age or, in any other way, to evade it.
What tone is represented in the author’s use of the words, “timidity,” “inhibited,” and “too much” in the passage above?
patriotic
disappointed
excited

story adapted from The Odyssey, BOOK IX
by Homer
The cave had looked like a promising place, awash with food and drink aplenty. It was empty, so Odysseus suggested that they wait for its owner to return, hoping for a hospitable inhabitant. The soldiers advised against this, but Odysseus insisted. Not long after, they discovered that their host was the quite inhospitable Cyclops, who proceeded to trap them in the cave by blocking the entrance with an enormous rock.
Many of Odysseus’s men had suggested ending the beast’s life, but that would leave them trapped in the cave. Even if they all worked together, they would not have the strength to remove the boulder from the cave’s opening.
For the past few days, Odysseus had observed the one-eyed monster. He had noticed that every morning, the Cyclops removed the rock from the cave’s opening to let out his flock of sheep before replacing it to keep Odysseus and his men confined inside.
"We will blind the monster. Then, we’ll use his own sheep to aid us in our escape,” Odysseus explained to his crew. “I have noticed that the males are fully grown and have thick black wool. We can tie three of them together. Then, we can hide a man under the belly of the middle animal. This way, he’ll be able to pass by the Cyclops unnoticed.”
Once the monster had fallen asleep, Odysseus blinded the Cyclops. The beast cried out in pain but then drifted back into slumber as the soldiers had shared their strong mead with him that night.
Odysseus and the men worked all night to make sure there were three sheep for each man. Once his crew was hidden, Odysseus leapt onto the remaining sheep—a ram that was finer than all the others. Then, he wiggled his way underneath the animal, concealing himself in the dark wool hanging below the ram’s belly.
As dawn approached, the men were fearful that the plan would not succeed, but they knew they must carry on if they hoped to escape the Cyclops’s lair. When the sun rose above the horizon, the Cyclops awoke and opened the cave entrance for his flock. Despite his pain, the Cyclops felt the back of each animal as it stood up and left the cave. He was not aware that the men were hidden beneath their bellies.
As the last sheep went out, the fine ram concealing Odysseus, the Cyclops grabbed hold of the animal.
“My good ram, why are you last today? You never let the others go ahead of you,” the Cyclops mused aloud. “You’re usually the one leading the rest—whether it is to go out and eat in the morning, or it is to come home at night.”
Odysseus held his breath; would they be discovered? But to his relief, the monster let the ram go out to the pasture with the other sheep. Finally, when they were far enough from the cave, Odysseus let go of the ram’s belly and helped his men to do the same. They drove the sheep to their awaiting ship, and once all men and animals were on board, the soldiers cried in relief at their narrow escape.
Odysseus signaled for them to hush. He realized that they were still in range of the Cyclops’s hearing. The men understood and quickly began to row the ship out to sea.
But Odysseus could not resist taunting the Cyclops from the deck of the ship. “Cyclops,” Odysseus shouted, “you did wrong by trapping us, and now the gods have punished you.”
The Cyclops grew furious. In his rage, he ripped off the top of a mountain and hurled it toward the sound of Odysseus’s voice. The piece of the earth plunged into the water just in front of the ship. This caused a wave that carried the ship back toward the Cyclops's land.
Odysseus picked up a long stick and quickly drove it into the sea to stop the motion of the ship. He nodded his head toward the men, indicating that they must row for their lives, which they did.
Odysseus was so angry he could not resist insulting the Cyclops further. “Monster,” he yelled, “if anyone asks you how you lost your sight, you can tell them that it was I, the valiant warrior Odysseus.”
The Cyclops grabbed a giant piece of land, even larger than the first, and threw it with all his might. This time, the wave it caused drove the ship toward the island, where the rest of the soldiers were anxiously awaiting Odysseus’s return.
A theme from the story adapted from The Odyssey, Book IX is that sometimes it is better to be clever than strong.
How is this theme developed in the story?
A: Odysseus and his soldiers all together are no match for the strength of Cyclops.
B: Odysseus comes up with a plan to outsmart Cyclops when his soldiers are unable to free them from the cave.
C: Odysseus taunts Cyclops as he and his soldiers are escaping from the cave after freeing themselves.
D: Odysseus refuses to take his soldiers' advice to leave before they are discovered.
Answer:
B.
Explanation:
Odysseus comes up with a clever idea to outsmart the cyclops to escape since they can't fight it.
A theme from the story adapted from The Odyssey, Book IX is that sometimes it is better to be clever than strong. This theme was developed when Odysseus comes up with a plan to outsmart Cyclops when his soldiers are unable to free them from the cave.
Who is Odysseus?"Odysseus, also known by the Latin variant Ulysses, is a legendary Greek king of Ithaca and the hero of Homer's epic poem the Odyssey."
Who is Cyclops?"The Cyclops - called Polyphemus - is a giant, with one eye in the middle of his forehead and he's the son of Poseidon, god of the sea."
The theme of the story "sometimes it is better to be cleaver than strong" is developed when Odysseus comes up with a plan to outsmart Cyclops when his soldiers are unable to free them from the cave as Odysseus's smartness helped his soldiers escape and Cyclops's strength and might proved to be of no use.

15 points
A Women rode bicycles along rough and unpaved roads.
B Women encountered resistance to their efforts.
C Women had a difficult time learning to ride bicycles.
D Women were unused to dealing with mechanical issues.
The use of the phrase "With a Few Flat Tires Along the Way" in the title indicates or suggests that:
B). Women encountered resistance to their efforts.

This suggests the idea that when women made efforts to ride a bicycle by changing their clothing styles and other attempts, people seemed to oppose it initially as it didn't fit into the traditional roles assigned to women.However, the women kept on battling for their rights by defending this resistance from the people and eventually, got this equal opportunity to ride it the way they want.
Thus, option B is the correct answer.

Explanation:
Write an argumentative essay (4 PARAGRAPHS) on whether or not the United States should keep producing pennies or stop using them.
I'm sorry for the lack of points that's all I have
Answer:
I personally believe that the United States should not continue producing pennies. I think this because the use of pennies are decressing in numbers, think about it when was the last time you have used one? Pennies are worth one cent, and is simply not useful to today's society.
Every year money is spent, and wasted on producing pennies just for it to go to waste. It has been reported that in 2016 that an estimated $62 million in pennies are lost every year in circulation. To make a single penny cost the goverment 2 cents, and they make millions and millions of pennies each year, this means money is being thrown away each year.
Pennies are made out of zinc and copper, and if you didn'y know zinc mining has a negitive environmental impact. Zinc leaches into the surrounding soil and water streams. Letting this chemical element into water streams could cause health concerns. Some of these health concerns include slow growth in infants and children, delayed sexual development in adolescents, and impotence in men. Zinc deficiency also causes hair loss, diarrhea, eye, and skin sores, and loss of appetite.
Lastly, pennies have no purchasing power. Now and days you can not purchase anything for less than 2 dollars. Back in the 1900s, it was useful but currently, in 2021 there is nothing you can do with it. Discontinuing pennies will not only reduce the use of zinc in our water but save us money.
