Hello. You did not inform the speech to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately. However, I will try to help you in the best possible way.
If King was trying to be persuasive, lines 307 - 334 can only affect persuasiveness by reinforcing the argument King is making. This can be done through a clear and objective diction that reinforces the importance of King's words. In addition, these lines can create a logical, ethical or emotional structure for the speeches, proposing a greater connection between king and the public.
Answer:
He has too much pride and confidence in his abilities.
Explanation:
Perseus as described in the excerpt was young, confident and proud being. The fact that he had nothing material to offer before the king but openly promised to bring be for the king Medusa's head was something no one but only a confident, and proud hero would pledge to deliver. Therefore, from the options given,
Option A is incorrect as the passage didn't talk about the beauty of the young man.
Though it was stated that he had nothing to give, but been poor and alone does not describe an heroic behavior.
Similarly, an unkept promise isn't an heroic quality.
Therefore, his pride and confidence are the heroic qualities Perseus demonstrated.
O cliche would be your answer, have a great day!
