Answer:
Root
Explanation:
From this excerpt, Odysseus is compared to a root because the narrator describes holding on to a "great fig tree" when the billow tossed him.
Speaking further, he also talks about being far away from the "root and bole" which is the comparison to Odyssey according to the excerpt.
He also speaks about the branches and leaves being far above his head.
Between lines 9-19 we can see that the boatswain has little tolerance for passengers and wants them to be away from their place of work. This is evident when he continues to send passengers back to their cabins and further states that that ship does not carry anyone he loves more than himself.
We can deduce that Alonso, Antonio and Gonzalo are men of great courage, since they do not repress themselves with the boatswain's attitudes, do not fear death by drowning (although they would rather die on dry land) and are very loyal to their king, since they decide continue with him in that moment of eminent death.
