The prophecy foretold that Polyphemus would be defeated by a man called Odysseus, so obviously he was expecting someone huge and strong to fight with him. However, when Odysseus defeated the cyclops using his brains only, he was really surprised because he overestimated his power. "Brawn versus brain" refers to Polyphemus fighting Odysseus - the latter man used his wits to trick the huge, strong monster and thus defeated him.

What is meant by this sentence from the selection?
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

C. Listen to criticism from others.

Explanation:

The given sentence is a famous Iroquois saying from "The Iroquois Constitution." This saying firmly depicts the wisdom of the framers of the Constitution and their 'democratic' approach.

In the saying, the leaders of the people must be open to any form of criticism that may come from any side, including the younger generations. The phrase <em>"cast not over your shoulder behind you the warnings of the nephews and nieces"</em> refers to the younger generation's criticisms and how they should not be ignored. This shows how a good leader is approachable and open to any 'corrections' even from those younger than him.

Thus, the correct answer is option C.
