Question 1: The sentence that uses commas correctly is:
Does Gully deserve to have more salmon, lobster, and scallops in his diet?
This version correctly includes a comma before the final item in the list (the Oxford comma).
Question 2: The purposes of the "invocation to the muse" that is often found at the beginning of an epic poem typically include:
- It is a way the poet asks for the inspiration.
- It serves as a prologue to the events to come.
(Note: The first option about criticizing how gods control fate and the third option about honoring Zeus and Athena may not be universally applicable to all epic poems, as the invocations can vary in context and purpose.)
Question 3: In The Odyssey, Telemachus is:
Odysseus's son.
He plays a crucial role in the story as he searches for news of his father and helps reclaim their home from suitors.
