Read the excerpt from "The Quarrel" from "Stories from the Iliad."

Then Agamemnon said, “Achilles, valiant though you be, you shall not thus outwit me. Are you to keep your own prize, while I sit tamely under my loss and give up the girl at your bidding? No—Achilles, I will come to your tent and take your own prize, the maiden Briseis.”

What effect does the word tamely have on the meaning of the excerpt from "The Quarrel"?

A: It suggests that Agamemnon thinks Achilles is insulting him.

B: It reveals Agamemnon is mighty and cannot be controlled.

C: It suggests that Agamemnon is afraid Achilles will overpower him.

D: It reveals that Agamemnon is trying to belittle Achilles.

Answers

Answer 1
I’m pretty sure it’s c maybe
Answer 2

The word ' tamely ' have the meaning in the excerpt 'The Quarrel' as in option C. t suggests that Agamemnon is afraid Achilles will overpower him.

What the story  'The Quarrel' reveals ?

The story of "The Quarrel" reveals the tension and conflicts between the Greek heroes during the Trojan War. In the story, Achilles and Agamemnon, two of the most powerful Greek warriors, are involved in a dispute over a woman, Briseis, that Agamemnon has taken as a prize

The word "tamely" suggests that Agamemnon is afraid Achilles will overpower him. In the context of the passage, Agamemnon is responding to Achilles' demand that he return Briseis, a woman he had taken as a prize of war.

Agamemnon is angry and feels that he is being unfairly treated, but the use of the word "tamely" implies that he is also hesitant or apprehensive about confronting Achilles directly.

It suggests that Agamemnon is aware of Achilles' power and reputation as a warrior, and he may be unsure of how to respond to his challenge. Hence, C is correct.

Should the students be allowed to perform their school play? Why or why not? Give three reasons to support your decision. At least one of your reasons should be based on what you learned about the Hazelwood v. Kuhlmeier case.

Reason #1:

Reason #2:

Reason #3:

The drama class at a middle school was preparing for their spring play in the school auditorium. One week before the performance, a parent complained to the school board that the play was inappropriate for middle school students. The school board agreed and contacted the principal, who then informed the classes that the show was canceled. Students were upset that their preparations were a waste. They believe they have the right to freedom of expression in performing the play. The school board said that students are minors and that it must approve decisions about what is presented in school by teachers or students. The students did not have time to plan a different show. A group of the students’ parents brought the case to court on their behalf, but they lost the case in state district court. The students’ parents appealed the district court’s decision to their state court of appeals. There the students and their parents won the case, but the school board appealed the decision to their state-level supreme court. The state supreme court ruled in favor of the school board. Unhappy with the state supreme court’s decision, the students’ parents are now appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court.
