Question

multiple - choice 3 points
what does the underlined term mean?
\down to the ship eurytus came running
to cry alarm, fast magic doomed his men;
but working with dry lips to speak a word
he could not, being so shaken; blinding tears
welled in his eyes; yet feeling filled his heart.
when we were frantic questioning him, at last
we learnt the tale: our friends were gone. (10, 39 - 45).

approaching evil
suffer an injury
to become a god
loving joy

Explanation:

The context suggests a tragic situation where friends are gone. "Doomed" implies a negative, often fateful outcome related to approaching evil or a bad - outcome situation. The other options do not fit the context as well. "Suffer an injury" is not indicated, "to become a god" is out of place, and "loving joy" is contrary to the sad tone.

Answer:

approaching evil
