Damon is a close friend of Pythias, who is sentenced to death by the tyrant Dionysius. Damon offers to take Pythias' place in prison, allowing Pythias to go home and settle his affairs before his execution. Pythias is allowed to return to Syracuse to arrange his affairs, on the condition that if he does not return, Damon will be put to death in his place.
Initially, Damon is portrayed as a loyal and selfless friend, willing to sacrifice his own life to save that of his friend. However, as the deadline for Pythias' return approaches and Pythias has yet to come back, Damon begins to have doubts and fears. He starts to question whether Pythias will return and whether he has made the right decision in taking his place. Dionysius, the tyrant, also try to tempt Damon with power, wealth, and status if he would not return to prison.
The conflict that Damon faces in the myth is the struggle between his loyalty to his friend and his own self-preservation. He must weigh the potential loss of his own life against the value of his friendship with Pythias. In the end, Pythias does return, and the tyrant is convinced of their friendship and spares their lives, Damon's trust and loyalty shown to his friend is rewarded.
It is interesting to note that the story of Damon and Pythias is often used as a representation of the Greek concept of Philia (friendship) which was considered a highly valued virtue in ancient Greece.

44. During World War II, as many as 7,000 detainees and "internees" were held at the Island.
45. Under the Geneva Conventions, war prisoners were permitted to have an advocate speak for them.
46. Once registered, immigrants were free to enter the New World and start their new lives. But if they were sick, they spent days, weeks, months even, in a warren of rooms. Some, like the tuberculosis ward, were open to the sea, where a gentle New York harbor breeze cleansed their lungs, improving their chances. Other rooms were solitary, forlorn places where the illness itself decided when to leave or stay. Most patients in the hospital or Contagious Disease Ward recovered, but some were not so lucky. More than 120,000 immigrants were sent back to their countries of origin, and during the island's half-century of operation more than 3,500 immigrants died there.
47. 350
48. 3,500
49. In 1954, after 62 years of operation, Ellis Island was closed by the Immigration and Naturalization Service. For ten years, the Main Building stood vacant. Vandals made off with anything they could carry, from doorknobs to filing cabinets. Snow swirled through broken windows, roofs leaked, weeds sprang up in corridors, and interior walls soaked up harbor moisture like sponges. In 1965, Ellis Island became part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, overseen by the National Park Service. Nearly thirty years later, in 1990, the Main Building was fully restored and opened as the Immigration Museum.

Answer:
Option 2- Jayden plays well during tryouts, but a few rough serves make it past her.
Explanation:
First, let's look at what each of the plot elements mean (in order from first to last):
Exposition: In the beginning of the story, exposition introduces the main character, setting, conflict, and themes.
Rising action: The rising action starts right after the period of exposition and ends at the climax.
Climax: Climax is the highest point of tension in a storyline, often depicted by a confrontation between the protagonist and antagonist. (or the main character and the problem/what the main character is stressed about which in our story is the tryouts) A climax resolves the main conflict of the story and is the moment the main character reaches-or fails to reach-their goal.
_____________________________
The first option is saying that Jayden took tennis lessons for three summers before starting high school. That information is actually irrelevent to us because that happens before the exposition.
The second option is saying that Jayden played well in the tryouts but she did miss a few serves. This is relevent to us because this happens after the exposition and before the climax. (This is also our answer.)
The third option states the Jayden begins to smile as she finds her name on the list. This is impossible because this happens after the climax and we do not know if she made the team or not.
The last option states that she texted her mother to let her know that she made the team. This is also impossible like the third option because it occurs after the climax and still don't know if she made the team or not!
This leaves us with option two as our only applicable option!

Why aren't authors always as explicit as possible in stating their meaning or purpose? Why do you think they often leave evidence to be inferred?
Answer:
Explanation:
Understanding the author's purpose helps readers understand what a text is about. It guides us in taking a stance as readers.
An author's purpose is his reason for or intent in writing. An author's purpose may be to amuse the reader, to persuade the reader, to inform the reader, or to satirize a condition.

They don't directly mention or state the themes or purposes in their stories so that their audience can interpret the story to how they perceive it. While it isn't stated, they embed the meaning through their storyline and through the characters they create.
