thing must be understood Medusa e got a quicksilver horrible
- 00:30
state used blue cautiously downwards admirably done to the astonishment
- 00:36
of merchant and medusa was not on eharmony all right
- 00:40
and here's our question which sentences from the text Best
- 00:44
support How the relationship between perseus and the gorgons develops
- 00:47
in paragraphs one through five Select all that apply and
- 00:51
hear the potential answers Yeah all right Well let's take
- 00:57
a look at a threat The nearer he came the
- 00:59
more terrible did the snaky visage and metallic body of
- 01:02
the monster grow a gives us a description of a
- 01:04
gorgon but doesn't talk about the relationship at all And
- 01:08
we all know relationships need to be based on something
- 01:10
a little deeper than just a physical appearance So is
- 01:13
ron all right How about bea descended towards it And
- 01:16
at the foot of a precipice of black rocks Behold
- 01:18
there were the terrible gorgon Alright well perseus has a
- 01:21
tough job It's not union He has to figure out
- 01:24
which gorgon is medusa and then kill her It's probably
- 01:27
safe to say these two won't be b f f's
- 01:29
anytime soon Answer be not only helps perseus figure out
- 01:32
where the gorgons lived it brings him one step closer
- 01:35
to slaying them Both help him establish a relationship with
- 01:38
the gorgons albeit not a great one Unfortunately for our
- 01:40
unhappy couple murderess is not yet a relationship status on
- 01:44
facebook But bea is a correct answer All right now
- 01:47
let's think about answer See which shall i strike at
- 01:50
Asked perseus drawing his sword and descending a little lower
- 01:53
Well we already know that perseus relationship with gorgons isn't
- 01:58
exactly warm and fuzzy murder rarely is but to do
- 02:02
that he needs to first establish a relationship with them
- 02:06
So does he help him with that task Yeah absolutely
- 02:09
First he's has toe first know which gorgon he's killing
- 02:12
before he can actually do the deed Soc is also
- 02:14
correct and answers Deanie quicksilver is trying to give perseus
- 02:18
the four one one on the gorgons However both of
- 02:20
these answers speak more about quicksilver and what he knows
- 02:24
about corgan's although that does give perseus some information about
- 02:27
him It doesn't speak to perseus relationship with gore gods
- 02:30
so both deana incorrect so looks like correct answers are
- 02:34
vey nc knowing where the gorgons lived and figuring out
- 02:36
which one of them is medusa Both help perseus establish
- 02:39
a relationship with the gorgons even if it's a pretty
- 02:42
toxic one but seriously though produce it doesn't need this
- 02:44
kind of relationship in her life Next time his wife 00:02:47.483 --> [endTime] left it's not union
