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.

Explain how other things such as making excuses,boasting and always apologizing can destroy true communication if they become ha
FromTheMoon [43]
Excuses can ruin true communication if it becomes a habit because it can cause the person on the receiving end to see you as not persistent, not a promise keeper, not a person who follows through with what they say, etc. 

Boasting can ruin true communication if it becomes a habit because it can cause others to dislike you. If you brag and boast all the time about things or people you have/seen and others haven't, it can turn people sour. For example, if I kept bothering you about how my computer was better and newer than yours, you wouldn't like it would you?

Always apologizing can ruin true communication if it becomes a bit because it can be so repetitive, people may become suspicious. They might not know when you're actually sincere about your apology, or whether you're just saying sorry again out of habit.
