Question

Why does Odysseus want to stay in Polyphemus' cave even though his men press him to leave? (A) He thinks Cyclops will give him all the cheese he wants. (B) He wants to see Cyclops looks like. (C) He thought Cyclops would throw rocks at them if they did not stay to say "hello".

Answer 1

From what I recall in English class, Odysseus was a man of pride with an enormous ego. In addition, he showed a sense of curiosity. I can tell you I am positive the answer is not A. B and C are both possible, but I am going with B. C is a little far fetched simply because of "If they did not stay to say 'hello." Hope this helps.

Answer 2

The answer is B, I think.
