The statement that best explains the simile is "The Cyclops’ effort to move the stone is compared to a simple task, showing his strength," as in option C.

<h3>What is a simile?</h3>

Simile is figure of speech used to compare two different things. It relies on the use of words such as "like" or "as." In the excerpt from the "Odyssey," we can identify simile in the following phrase:

  • "but he, behind, reset the stone as one would cap a quiver."

Notice that the speaker compares the way the Cyclops reset the stone to the action of capping a quiver. The purpose of that simile is show how strong the Cyclops is. To him, lifting and moving a big, heavy stone is an easy task.

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the correct option is letter C. "The Cyclops’ effort to move the stone is compared to a simple task, showing his strength."

Why did Kanzi become a candidate for learning language?
olganol [36]

Answer:

c. He was present when his mother, Matata, was being taught how to  communicate.

Explanation:

The attempts to 'teach' language and help animals communicate with humans has been ongoing research and practical work of many linguistics and psychologists. Sue Savage-Rumbaugh is one of those psychologists who worked on teaching language and communication between animals and humans, specifically focusing on the bonobos.

Kanzi was an infant bonobo when Sue first began teaching lexigrams to Matata, Kanzi's adopted mother. But despite their attempts, Matata seemed to be incapable of learning or understanding anything. Taken back to another facility to be a breeder, Kanzi was left behind. After a couple of days, Sue noticed that Kanzi had absorbed whatever had been taught to his mother. This led Sue to focus on teaching Kanzi instead.

Thus, the correct answer is that Kanzi was present when his mother, Matata was being taught to communicate.
