Answer: Odysseus has the defining character traits of a Homeric leader: strength, courage, nobility, a thirst for glory, and confidence in his authority. His most distinguishing trait, however, is his sharp intellect.

Language is a system of signs represrnting ideas to convey a message. Those symbols, which are words can be arbitrary, ambiguous, abstract representations of other phenomena.

Language is ruled guided, simply put, verbal communication is guided by unspoken but broadly understood rules.
So I would say that option A, C and D are correct.
Meanwhile, I think that option B is incorrect since a mean of communication is understood as the tool and technology employed in order to convey a message, exchange information, ideas.
Haven't read that story, but going from the title I am going to say A.
