Answer: C) flowing and harmonious.

The excerpt compares Odysseus' use of the bow to a talented musician because of the flowing and harmonious skill he displays. The adjectives used convey an image of musicality and harmony. Some descriptions that contribute to this tone are: "with quiet hand," "a sweet new string," "effortlessly" and "sang a swallow's note."
