Answer:
mr. teller wants his dog back
A. since they explain or tell something that happened.
on the other hand, it could be D since it depends on the style of how the news story was presented. I would stick with A.
I'll answer your question in the comments but what are the 2 sentences?
In the excerpt "Cyclops...lay down like a mast among his sheep.", the Cyclops is compared to a mast because of his size. He is not compared to Zeus (and it would be sacrilegious to compare a monster with the father of the gods); also, he is not surrendering. He is laying down because he has had his fill of Oydsseus's companions, not because he has been defeated.
