Why doesn't Odysseus kill Polyphemus when he has the chance? He knows the men aren't strong enough to open the door. He doesn't

want to incur Poseidon's wrath. He is afraid he will fail and be eaten next. His crewmen restrain him.

Answer:

He knows the men aren't strong enough to open the door.

Explanation:

In Book IX of "The Odyssey" by Homer, Odysseus is on the island of the cyclops Polyphemus, the son of Poseidon. Initially he and his men did not realize it was the cave of the Cyclops so on seeing the abundant food and drinks available, they feasted but was trapped by Polyphemus before they could go back to their ship. Polyphemus had used a big block of stone to seal the entrance of the cave, thereby rendering the mortals unable to escape. Odysseus could have easily killed him but he did not as he knows he along with his men alone aren't capable of moving the stone block that is used as the door. Besides, some of his men were already eaten by Polyphemus so he should use his wits instead of his strength in order to escape from the cave alive.

Which statement BEST explains the relationship between these two
kupik [55]

Answer:

B). Chocolate is now a sweet treat that is  very popular in the United States.

Explanation:

The second statement most aptly relates the two given facts. It <u>states that chocolate has now become a sweet treat(implies that 'it wasn't sweet treat earlier despite being there since ancient times') and has become quite popular as reflected by huge consumption of '3 billion pounds' every year</u>. Thus, the second option amalgamates the two facts and displays that how the latter has led to former and how the former led to bring change in the latter by making it a popular sweet treat in the United States. Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
