Answer and Explanation:

The text describes Polyphemus as a giant, one-eyed, wild, violent and man-eater. Polyphemus is a Cyclops and does not treat guests kindly, but devours them in the most violent way possible. This contrasts it with the way Odysseus and the men who accompany him are treated by King Alcinous. That's because Alcinous is impressed with Odysseus and treats him in the best possible way, offering him dinner, riches and even the hand of his own daughter.

This question is about the book "The Odyssey" which shows Odysseus' attempts to return to Itaca, his birthplace.

den301095 [7]

The nurse may interpret this as an assertion of self-reliance and the acceptance of the circumstances that push him to work. The circumstance might be his own personal need to work or any other.

<u>Explanation :</u>

This statement uttered during an interview by a nurse of an older client emphasizes the idea that though the older adult is getting a pension, he is still working either to make a living or  for self-satisfaction.

He is not solely relying on the pension which, as a matter of fact,  is quite small to satisfy his needs. ‘A small pension’ also underlines his dissatisfaction with the financial aid he is receiving. ‘Still working’ expresses his circumstance that he still has to work.
