4 0

A foil in literature describes a character who contrasts with another character in order to make comparisons and highlight certain traits between these two persons.

Both Melantho and Eurycleia are servants of Odysseus. While Melantho is unloyal, (sleeping with the suitors while Odysseus is away) and treating him rudely when he returns disguised as a beggar, Eurycleia remains devoted and kind. Melantho is used as a foil for Eurycleia to showcase her good traits.

Answer:

B is the only reasonable option heres my opinion.

A is hopeful, you have a chance to survive but also not. and how are you gonna get down without making noise?

B is a chance to run away fast as you can, far as you can, as making such noise as you can but you have to think fast, a hole is easy to escape out of and you need atleast a 10 feet hole.

Pros and cons of both answers.

1-Pros

not much time needed to do

doesnt make alot of noise.

Cons-

can just look up and see you.

easy way to get found

2.Pros

easier chance of escaping alive

The pitch black-ness assists with the trap.

you can also hide near a tree or in some bushes.

Cons-

time consuming-makes alot of noise.

can step on you, (if laying down).

I'd prefer B but whatever floats your boat.
