Answer:
1. He saw an Eagle bearing a snake in its talon
2. Polydamas advised Hector to retreat by withdrawing the army
3. No, Hector did not listen
Explanation:
This question was taken from the literary work "The Iliad and the Odyssey", a poem by Homer.
This event happened while they were near the Grecian wall. The Grecians had run into hiding to take cover while Hector and his men had wanted to march forward but it was proving difficult. Upon Polydamas' counsel, the army ditched their chariots and were divided into five troops whic went forward on foot. After this, Polydamas saw the omen of an Eagle clutching a wounded serpent in its talon and the serpent bit the Eagle forcing the Eagle to release the serpent from its grip. Polydamas interpreted this to mean that the Trojan assault would fail and Hector's army defeated. Upon seeing this, he would advise that Hector retreat his army from mounting the pre-planned assault. Hector was defiant, rather than retreat, he urged the army on saying, “Fight for your country—that is the best, the only omen!”. With this Hector drove the Trojans forward

Answer:
b. objective
Explanation:
To say that someone is 'good' or 'strong' is not objective because it is based on your own values, perceptions and judgement. So, someone else might have a very different perception of those adjectives based on his own experience and values.
It's not objective, it's subjective, because it depends of the subject (individual) saying those words, on what they define is good, on what they believe is strong and so on.
Objective means it's something that everyone agrees on, that has a general consensus among the population. For example, saying someone is beautiful/handsome implies your own criteria of beauty, which may or may not be shared by others. But if you say someone is tall, then it can be measured and quantified to determine if it's really the case or not, it's not dependent on someone's opinion or feelings.
