Answer:
May 18-July 4, 1863: Confederate President Jefferson Davis saw Vicksburg, Mississippi, a fortress port and railroad hub along the Mississippi River, as “the nail head that holds the South’s two halves together.” That made it imperative for the Union to take what was known as the Gibraltar of the Confederacy.
In mid-May, Grant sent his forces to attack the city several times, but they were unable to penetrate the Confederates’ defenses. That forced him to settle into a long siege, in which he bombarded Vicksburg with artillery and fire from Union gunboats, and forced Confederate defenders and the civilian population to endure hunger and illness. Many hid in man-made caves dug under the city.
In June, Grant tried one last assault, deploying miners to tunnel under the Confederate fortifications and plant explosives that carved out a 12-foot-deep crater. But the Union forces were unable to advance out of it and had to retreat. By July, Confederate Lt. Gen. John C. Pemberton and his 29,000 men couldn’t hold out any longer, and had to surrender to Grant.
The victory gave the Union control of the critical supply line of the entire Mississippi River. And the Confederacy was split.

Which of the following is NOT true about the Second Continental Congress?
A. Some delegates still believed that peace with England was the best path.
B. George Washington was chosen as President of the congress.
C. Delegates from all 13 colonies attended.
D. It had already met once before.
The one that is not true about the Second Continental Congress is that Delegates from all 13 colonies attended. The correct option is c.
The Second Continental Congress was critical in molding the American Revolution and laying the groundwork for the United States. It served as a platform for colonial authorities to coordinate their efforts, make critical decisions, and eventually pave the road for independence.
The Second Continental Congress met to debate the ongoing war with Great Britain and the colonies' response to British policy. It governed the American colonies prior to the foundation of a permanent government. Not all 13 colonies sent delegates to the Second Continental Congress.
Georgia did not send delegates until later in the Congress, therefore only 12 colonies were represented at first. As a result, assertion C is erroneous.

How do prophecies affect Odysseus and Achilles?
Answer: Both prophecies are bad for their well being, In The Odyssey Odysseus is warned by the blind prophet Tiresias that all of the sacred cattle of the Sun God Helios should be left alone. Tiresias says that the cattle should be avoided at whatever cost, and that if they are not, the men will all meet their doom. The prophecy that he would be killed either by Apollo or by Paris is treated vividly: Achilles falls in love with Polyxena, Priam's daughter, and arranges to meet Hecuba and Paris in the temple of Apollo Thrymbraeus in Troy. Paris and Deiphebus ambush him when he arrives, and they kill him.
Explanation:
The epic poets of the Silver Age of Roman Literature also labored
in different degrees under the triple burden of self-consciousness,
learning, and empty rhetoric. Their task was the more difficult
because Homer and Virgil had preceded them, so that whether they
chose an historical or mythological theme, they were timorously
conscious that they were doomed to second place. This is, for the
most part, only another way of saying that the epics under considera-
tion spring each from its own age. The ninth and eighth centuries
before our era could not have produced a poem suited for example
to the Alexandrian Age, when Greece, her great creative impulse lost,
became conscious of self and sought glory rather pedantically in her
great traditions; still less could those early centuries have given us
an epic of world empire. On the other hand, the age of Augustus and
even more the century that followed him were powerless to recover
the heroic spirit and adventurous temper of the Hellenic stocks on the
coast of Asia Minor when their world was young.
Prophecy, the foretelling of events, must carry the warrant of its
validity with it to gain attention. It may be given by a god or by one
who is divinely endowed with an understanding of signs and portents,
with a knowledge of fate and the future; if it be spoken by a mortal
who has received no special inspiration, the character and force of the
speaker, and the circumstances under which he speaks, must be such
as to carry conviction, or the effect is lost. Although the poet him-
self may utter prophecies, he rarely ventures to do so in the epic, for
this form of poetry is largely objective; he usually, therefore, leaves
the r1le of prophet to his characters. He may announce his theme
by calling on the Goddess to sing the wrath of Achilles, or by bidding
the Muse relate the fate of far-wandering Odysseus, after he had
sacked the sacred city of Troy; indeed, if he belong to a more sub-
jective age he may say openly, as does Apollonius the Rhodi
