Analyzing and Supporting a Theme Try
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,
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."

ANSWER: The answer is C

If they make fun of me / in my own courtyard, let your ribs cage up / your springing heart, no matter what I suffer.

EVIDENCE:

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.
