Which evidence BEST shows why Helios "would soon come to regret" his hasty generosity? A. The earth was damaged forever. B. Phaethon wanted the glory of driving the chariot. C. Phaethon decided to drive the chariot closer to the earth. D. The chariot was quickly righted.

The correct answer is A) The earth was damaged forever

Explanation:

In the myth of Phaethon and the Sun Chariot, Phaethon had requested that Helios confirm his sonship. Helios did and become in a moment of error extended too much generosity by granting his newly affirmed son the right to ask anything he wanted.

Drawing on the 'blank cheque' he had been given, he requested to drive the chariot which hulled the sun accross the earth.

Because he was too weak to control it, the horses self-steered the chariot across the Universe, damaging the earth by burning parts of Africa into a desert amongst other things.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
