Odysseus must have thought about killing Polyphemus but rejected the idea for at least one reason. The main reason would have been that it was nearly impossible to murder the giant because they had no adequate means of doing it. If they had tried to stab Polyphemus with a sharpened stake, they might have only wounded him.

Hey there!

Odysseus does not stab Polyphemus, the Cyclops, because if he does, he will be trapped in the cave along with some of his men. A boulder is blocking the cave exit, and the Cyclops is the only thing strong enough to move it.

I hope this helps!

<u>A credible source of information is the reliable one, based on supporting evidence:</u>

A study by researchers published on a university’s website is a credible source of information as its validity is authenticated by the fact that the university has allowed its appearance on its formal website which is viewed by millions of users every day.

Another credible source can be a book written by a scholar on the topic with examples supporting his viewpoint. It will carry his point of view based on research which can be used by the researcher to make his study. Such books have been used by researchers in the past to improve the development of a topic and carry on their research.

A sentence that combines two or more complete thoughts without using proper punctuation is known as
il63 [147K]
a run-on

A run-on sentence is a sentence that has two or more complete thoughts without proper punctuation. This makes the sentence grammatically incorrect. For example: I have a dog she runs fast. There are two complete ideas, but they aren't punctuated correctly. It's also missing a conjunction. Two join the ideas, it must be changed to: I have a dog, and she runs fast.
A fragment is an incomplete sentence. Most fragments are dependent clauses. For example: Since the dog runs fast. This is a fragment because of the word "since". Since tells you that there should be some follow up information about the dog running fast. Since the dog runs fast, she must always be on a leash.
