The cyclops is compared to a mast, or flagpole, because of his size.

The simile in the excerpt is "Cyclops...lay down like a mast among his sheep." He is not surrendering, but rather taking a nap because his belly is full of Odysseus' men and he's tired. The options that say he is compared to Zeus are incorrect. In the excerpt the men are praying to Zeus for help because the Cyclops is eating them. They do not say the Cyclops is like Zeus at all.

In the excerpt "Cyclops...lay down like a mast among his sheep.", the Cyclops is compared to a mast because of his size. He is not compared to Zeus (and it would be sacrilegious to compare a monster with the father of the gods); also, he is not surrendering. He is laying down because he has had his fill of Oydsseus's companions, not because he has been defeated.

The edited answer:

Familiar scenes are worth observing.
Think of the village tank - the woman filling water or polishing her vessels, the men watering his animals, and the children jumping off from the steps. These are indeed small, ordinary activities, but more important for the people who live in the countryside.

1. PART A: Which of the following best identifies a main theme of this text? Acquiring true knowledge requires questioning one’s
Artemon [7]

Answer:

Acquiring true knowledge requires questioning one’s perception.

Explanation:

Plato's "Allegory of the Cave," tells an allegorical story of how man is so blind with his own concept of knowledge that he assumes anything that he can see or know as the real knowledge and finds it hard to accept other truths. Through this allegory, Plato implies that true knowledge is perceived only when a man utilizes philosophical reasoning to understand the true nature of reality.

In this allegorical story, Plato presents an image of men in a cave who are prisoners. the cave represents knowledge and the chained 'prisoners' are able to only see and perceive one side, that is the scene in front of them. They are unable to move their necks or see things behind or even on the sides of the caves. Their vision is limited to the front only and their shadows. So, according to him, <u>man needs to question his own perceptions if he is to acquire true knowledge, only then will he be able to perceive the true nature of reality. </u>
