Answer: To show the difference between an educated, refined noble class and coarse, crude commoners.
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.
The correct use of comparative is found in the following sentence:
<span>D. George has a bigger appetite than Harry.
</span>
Below, I will correct the other sentences:
A. This is the worst picture I've ever seen.
B. Alicia is a better swimmer than Marilynn.
<span>C. Of the three girls, Janet is the best speaker.</span>
Ad hominem means the man so it probably means one persons opinion and ad populem means the population so maybe the general
populations opinion
