Question

Read the passage from The Odyssey - Amphimedon. "Amphimedon, What ruin brought you into this undergloom? All in a body, picked men, and so young? One could not better choose the kingdom's pride. Were you at sea, aboard ship, and Poseidon blew up a dire wind and foundering waves, or cattle-raiding, were you, on the mainland, or in a fight for some stronghold, or women, when the foe hit you to your mortal hurt? Tell me, answer my question. Guest and friend I say I am of yours—or do you not remember I visited your family there?” From the way that Agamemnon talks to Amphimedon, the reader can infer that Agamemnon A)is disturbed by Amphimedon. B)is fighting with Amphimedon. C)has great respect for Amphimedon. D)has a deep affection for Amphimedon.

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A)is disturbed by Amphimedon

Step-by-step explanation:

From the passage, Agamemnon is asking Amphimedon what brought him to Hades and why he came to the "undergloom" in a body so young.

He tries to find out what happened to him to die so young, whether it is as a result of Poseidon's rage at sea or in a fight for either stronghold or woman, he is eager to find out.

From these inferences and behavior of Agamnemon, we can conclude that he is disturbed by Amphimedon.
