The Cyclops is compared to Zeus because of his size. The Cyclops is compared to Zeus because of his power. The Cyclops is compared to a mast, or flagpole, because of his surrender.

The correct answer to this is:

The Cyclops is compared to a mast, or flagpole, because of his size.

The similie suggests that even Cyclops is laying down he is still huge and looks like a mast among the sheep.

In the excerpt from Part 2 of the Odyssey, Cyclops is not compared to Zeus, rather the men are "lifting hands to Zeus" (praying) because they are being eaten and need help from Gods.

Also, Cyclops does not surrender, he is taking a nap as he is full after his meal.

Please tell me what is the Difference between "Cannot" and "Can Not"?
drek231 [11]
Cannot is formal, while can't in informal.
"Cannot" and "can not" are interchangeable, but when you are asking question for example:
"why can't I...", you can also say "why can I not..." (which is more formal), but you can't say "why cannot I..."

Read the excerpt from The People Could Fly So [the alligators] all be quiet. Until the fire flare real high and close. . . . The
loris [4]

Answer:

The word "swink" probably means that a lot of effort has been made.

Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that the crocodiles worked hard to escape the fire, but all their efforts were in vain. The text presents contextual clues that this effort was violent and intensive even if it did not achieve results, that is, the crocodiles tried to get rid of the fire, but they did not succeed. This very significant effort is directly associated with the word "swink" presented in the text, which allows us to consider that this word means that something laborious and that requires great effort and concentration is being carried out.
