Answer:
The figurative language means the arrows were quickly shot. It impacts the description of Odysseus because it shows he is a skilled warrior.
Explanation:
Notice how carefully the words were chosen to convey this image: "poured out" and "rain of arrows". Picture that - you must have seen something similar in movies -, dozens of arrows falling from the sky like rain. For Odysseus to be able to do that, he would have to have great skills. He would have incredible aim as well as speed to cause the impression that arrows are raining down. This is what the author wants to achieve with the use of this figurative language. In a most eloquent and vivid manner, he conveys how skillful Odysseus is.
I think that it is the last choice that makes the most sense to me so the the answer is number 5.The other themes aren't true or don't go along with the excerpt."The insane have no sense of time doesnt work because that theme is not true in this case because it does not mention time that much in the excerpt.So, we can eliminate this theme. "The insane are obsessed with mortality isn't true either because he never said that he liked killing the man. He even says "I loved the old man." So we can eliminate that. "The insane are incapable of using deception.isnt true becuase he did not deceive anyone and "The insane lack imaginationisnt true because he does not lack imagination.
