Read the excerpt from Part 2 of The Odyssey by Homer. We would entreat you, great Sir, have a care for the gods' courtesy; Zeus

will avenge the unoffending guest.' He answered this from his brute chest, unmoved 'You are a ninny, or else you come from the other end of nowhere, telling me, mind the gods! We Cyclopes care not a whistle for your thundering Zeus or all the gods in bliss; we have more force by far. How does this excerpt prove that Odysseus causes his crew’s demise? by explaining his haphazard travels by describing his loyalty to Zeus by showing his physical weakness by revealing his ignorant assumptions

Answer:

This excerpt proves that Odysseus causes his crew's demise:

D. by revealing his ignorant assumptions.

Explanation:

The excerpt we are analyzing here belongs to the epic poem The Odyssey. The hero of the story, Odysseus, is talking to a Cyclops, but his ignorant assumptions about the Cyclops's kind leads to his crew's demise.<u> Odysseus assumes the Cyclopes, just like humans, fear and respect the gods. That's why he appeals to that notion when he says, "Zeus will avenge the unoffending guest." However, to his sad surprise, the Cyclops is immediately angered by those words, revealing he could not care less about the gods. The Cyclopes are clearly an arrogant kind, believing they "have more force by far." Since Odysseus did not know that, his words cause a tragedy.</u>

Pepsi [2]
We might fear rejection from the people closest to us. If you were talking to a stranger, for instance, you wouldn’t care too much if they judged you, because you wouldn’t be losing anything. Talking to the people closest to us can bring up the fear of rejection because if they hear something they don’t like, they might leave, or they might talk to you, or look at you differently, and it could trigger a paranoia, psychologically making you uncomfortable to be around them and therefore, you lose a relationship.
