Read the excerpt from Part 2 of The Odyssey. We cried aloud, lifting our hands to Zeus, powerless, looking on at this, appalled;

but Cyclops went on filling up his belly with manflesh and great gulps of whey, then lay down like a mast among his sheep. Which statement best explains the simile in this excerpt? 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 Cyclops is compared to a mast, or flagpole, because of his size.

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.

Provide 2 reasons why are people hesitant to report corruption
Korolek [52]
1.) The very first reason that most people are because some people are scared. They think that cyber bullying may occur or that they will die if those people find them. Which doesn't happen unless you post pictures of yourself.

2.) The next reason is because either they are their friends or they are saying threats. Most people get scared and defriend them

Select from the drop-down menu to correctly complete the sentence with parallel structure.
Nesterboy [21]
The sentence given is "A major Romantic poet, John Keats wrote brilliantly, loved hopelessly, and died prematurely.  The answer is letter C. "and died prematurely". This is to maintain the parallel structure of the sentence which should be your guide in choosing the next phrase. "brilliantly", "hopelessly", and "prematurely" are alike.
