Option A. The explicit detail that the reader is given about Odysseus in the passage is that Odysseus tells the Cyclops that his name is "Nobody".
Explanation:
In the passage from the Greek epic poem "The Odyssey", the reader is given the explicit detail that Odysseus tells the Cyclops that his name is "nobody" and that is how his parents and friends call him. An explicit detail is something that is stated clearly, leaving no room for confusion or doubt. Although the other options available in the question are correct to the passage's information, they are not correct answers to the question, as they cannot be considered explicit, but implicit. An implicit detail would be, for instance, that Odysseus is passive aggressive towards the Cyclops, or that Odysseus is clever to have fooled the Cyclops so easily. These could be considered implicit details as they are understood but not clearly stated within the text.
