Which two quotes from The Aeneid best support the answer to Part A?
A whirlpool thick / with sludge, its giant eddy seething, vomits / all of its swirling sand into Cocytus. (lines 2–4)
Alone / he poles the boat and tends the sails . . . (lines 9–10)
And here a multitude was rushing, swarming / shoreward, with men and mothers, bodies of / high-hearted heroes stripped of life . . . (lines 13–15)
thick as the leaves that with the early frost / of autumn drop and fall within the forest, / or as the birds that flock along the beaches . . . (lines 18–20)
But Charon, sullen boatman, / now takes these souls, now those . . . (lines 25–26)
