The correct answer is <span>hī' brĭd, which is the second option.
Even if you are unsure about the first syllable of the word, you can find the correct answer based on the second syllable. The second syllable, brid, is short, you pronounce it quite fast, which is why you need to use the symbol </span>ĭ, which is a breve, and denotes a short syllable. Given that the second option is the only one that has that symbol, B is the correct answer. The first symbol, ī', is read as 'ai.'
Read the excerpt from "The Story of a Warrior Queen."
When Boadicea saw that all hope was gone, she called her daughters to her. "My children," she said sadly, as she took them by the hand and drew them towards her, "my children, it has not pleased the gods of battle to deliver us from the power of the Romans. But there is yet one way of escape." Tears were in her blue eyes as she kissed her daughters. She was no longer a queen of fury but a loving mother.

Answer:
Explanation:
The poet of these lines, Edna St. Vincent Millay, imagines a speaker who is sick of spring and everything that goes along with the season changing. Millay employs word choice such as "stickily" in order to make the beauty of new leaves growing on the trees seem grotesque. She also names the leaves as "little" further diminishing the importance of the season changing. The speaker calls out directly to April in the first line ("To what purpose, April, do you return again?"). This line can be read as threatening or condecensing in light of the word choice in the poem as the speaker is angry at April's return. The speaker concluses that "I know what I know," marking themselves as more knowledgable about the world than spring and April.
The correct answer is - Odysseus and his men blind the Cyclops.
The Cyclops captured Odysseus and his men in his cave and didn't let them out because he wanted to eat them. However, the hero and his companions hurt the Cyclops' eye and managed to escape the cave and thus they weren't eaten alive thanks to Odysseus' genius.
