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.

List five reasons why saving money is important (not from google pls)
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

1. if we didn't save money, eventually we wouldn't have any. Therefore we wouldn't be able to buy food or water. Because we can't afford anything we would die. (Sad, but true.)

2. Savings can help us a lot. if we don't save and go blow a bunch of money then when we need to pay bills and such we won't have enough. Then you could lose your house and more because you didn't pay.

3. There are a lot of emergencies that happen. If no one ever saved then you might find yourself in a life or death situation, but don't have money and therefore lose a lot.

4. If you didn't save then someone comes and demolishes your car then your out of luck, but if you save and prepare for the future then it would still be a big loss, but you can still go get a new car and still be able to travel to places you need.

5. if we never save then we could find ourselves in a lot of trouble. There are a number of things that could happen. If we save we can also save ourselves from a lot of trouble.

I need help I don't get poetry <br><br>what are 3 details and what is the point of view?
AleksandrR [38]

6 white arrows? what does that mean. XD anyways

if you mean details as in details about the deer, than the deer has nice green eyes, "The headlights turn their dark eyes green." They're "Calm as ponds," and they liked sitting under a tree in a families backyard. I hope this helped, sorry it kind of sucked as an answer. :/
