Here is your part: at break of day tomorrow home with you, go mingle with our princes. the swineherd later on will take me down the port-side trail – a beggar, by my looks, hangdog and old. if they make fun of me in my own courtyard, let your ribs cage up your springing heart, no matter what i suffer, no matter if they pull me by the heels or practice shots at me, to drive me out. look on, hold down your anger. you may even plead with them, by heaven! in gentle terms to quit their horseplay – not that they will heed you, rash as they are, facing their day of wrath. —the odyssey, homer which lines from the passage support the theme “true strength is knowing when not to act”? “here is your part: at break of day tomorrow / home with you, go mingle with our princes.” “the swineherd later on will take me down / the port-side trail – a beggar, by my looks, / hangdog and old.” “if they make fun of me / in my own courtyard, let your ribs cage up / your springing heart, no matter what i suffer.”

The lines from the passage which best support the theme “true strength is knowing when not to act” are:

“If they make fun of me in my own courtyard, let your ribs cage up your springing heart, no matter what I suffer, no matter if they pull me by the heels or practice shots at me, to drive me out. Look on, hold down your anger.”

There are some parts that have special meaning and add a more solid example of self-control: “let your ribs cage up your springing heart”, this means that Odyssey has to suppress his feelings. And of course: "Look on, hold down your anger.” This quotation requires no explanation.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

the answer is a.

explanation:

the clause "looking toward the south" modifies "a funnel cloud." it's not really the cloud that's "looking," but grammatically, that clause is modifying the cloud.
