Answer:

The figurative language means the arrows were quickly shot. It impacts the description of Odysseus because it shows he is a skilled warrior.

Explanation:

Notice how carefully the words were chosen to convey this image: "poured out" and "rain of arrows". Picture that - you must have seen something similar in movies -,  dozens of arrows falling from the sky like rain. For Odysseus to be able to do that, he would have to have great skills. He would have incredible aim as well as speed to cause the impression that arrows are raining down. This is what the author wants to achieve with the use of this figurative language. In a most eloquent and vivid manner, he conveys how skillful Odysseus is.

Which best illustrates Sampson’s high opinion of himself?
maw [93]
C. His declaration that he is a 'pretty piece of flesh'. The phrase means that he thinks he is very attractive. Through the whole opening scene he is bragging to Gregory about how well he will do in battle and how the members of the house of Montague will react to him--especially the women. He thinks he would have a right to treat them with disrespect because he is so attractive, which further shows his high opinion of himself.
