This was an army, trained to fight on horseback
or, where the ground required, on foot. They came
with dawn over that terrain like the leaves
and blades of spring. So doom appeared to us,
dark word of Zeus for us, our evil days.
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.
We stopped to take on water. All ships' companies
mustered alongside for the mid-day meal.
Then I sent out two picked men and a runner
to learn what race of men that land sustained.
They fell in, soon enough, with Lotus-Eaters,
I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,
tied them down under their rowing benches,
and called the rest: ‘All hands aboard;
come, clear the beach and no one taste
the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home.’

It looks like you've provided some revised answers to the quiz questions. Let's review them based on the original queries and context provided earlier.
2. Your answer: **Both lines use alliteration as a sound device.**
This is incorrect. The correct answer is: **The first line contains assonance, and the second line contains alliteration.** The first line has vowel sounds repeated (assonance), while the second line includes the repetition of consonant sounds (alliteration).
4. Your answer: **paragraph 3 of “A Case for Waawaatesi.”**
This requires reference to the specific content and context of that paragraph. Without seeing the text, I cannot confirm the appropriateness of this answer. If this paragraph logically presents evidence, uses facts, and employs logical reasoning, it may very well appeal to logos.
9. Your answer: **I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, tied them down under their rowing benches, and called the rest: ‘All hands aboard; come, clear the beach and no one taste the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home.’**
This excerpt does demonstrate Odysseus’s strength and leadership traits. It shows his decisive actions and care for his crew.
11. Your answer: **had fireplaces.**
Without more context, it’s challenging to confirm if this inference is specifically accurate. However, your choice relates to the home’s description in the context of the excerpt, indicating a domestic setting.
15. Your answer: **logos and pathos.**
If the excerpt from "A Case for Waawaatesi" appeals to both logic and emotional connection, this answer is valid, assuming it's supported by evidence within the text.
20. Your answers:
- **The storm was a direct result of Zeus’s fury at the men.**
- **For two days and nights, Zeus created a storm at sea.**
- **Odysseus and his men feared greatly for their lives.**
These details effectively highlight the key elements from the passage about the storm and the intense situation faced by Odysseus and his crew.
