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.

The characterization presented in the text suggests that Anne was a very optimistic person, as shown in the third answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The text shows an indirect characterization by showing Anne's optimistic behavior.
  • That's because the text shows how the hiding place where Anne was with her family was ugly and uncomfortable, but she recognized that it was the best they could have at the moment.
  • This situation showed to Anne that even though they were in a strange place, this was the best place in the entire country, as it was the place that kept them safe.

This characterization shows how Anne was optimistic and sought to see the best of situations even if those situations were bad.

How do the action of Ariadne help further the plot
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Without the string from Ariadne, it would have been very hard for Theseus to escape the maze. "Theseus, take this, she whispered. Even if you kill the Minotaur, you will never find your way out again" (E2BN.org, Commonlit). She requests Theseus to take her with him and she also thinks he will marry her.  He doesn't find her attractive and therefore leaves her stranded on an island.  "In his haste to get away, Theseus forgot to change his sails to white. King Aegeus, waiting on the headland, saw the ship approaching with its black sails flying in the wind"(E2BN.org, Commonlit).

Why does General Zaroff decide to create his own sporting proposition?
AnnZ [28]

In "The Most Dangerous Game," General Zaroff decides to create his own sporting proposition because he has grown bored of hunting animals, as seen below.

General Zaroff has decided to create this new sporting proposition because animals are no longer fun to hunt. Since they are irrational beings who act on instinct, they have become too easy a prey for Zaroff. Now, he hunts men, human beings, who provide him with more of a challenge.
