Question

In lines 71-80, what action does Juno take when asking Aeolus for help in the text?

A) She threatens him with punishment if he doesn't assist her.
B) She offers him a reward in exchange for his help.
C) She persuades him with kind words and flattery.
D) She commands him to provide assistance without any negotiation.

Answer 1

Juno offers Aeolus a reward in exchange for his assistance, indicating a transactional approach rather than using threats, commands, or persuasion.

Step-by-step explanation:

In lines 71-80, the action Juno takes when asking Aeolus for help is B) She offers him a reward in exchange for his help. Juno employs negotiation rather than threats or commands, and her approach is based on the idea of a transaction, where Aeolus's assistance is compensated with a reward. This is contrasted with options where Juno could have used coercion or persuasion through kind words, neither of which are indicated in the selected lines.
