Answer:

After escaping, Odysseus continues to taunt Polyphemus and brags about his exploits.

Explanation:

The term "hubris" refers to the quality of a person in having or exhibiting extreme pride and ambition in his/her own actions and abilities. This personality quality of a person, in the over-confidence of a person, will oftentimes lead to an inescapable downfall later on.

In the epic "The Odyssey" by Homer, hubris is one character trait of Odysseus. One such example is when they were on the island of Polyphemus. After 'stealing' from Polyphemus, Odysseus lost many of his men to the cyclops. But despite that, he brags about his 'loot' and even taunts the one-eyes monster. He knows that it was against the wish of the gods to get involved or 'disturb' the cyclops, and that 'looting' a demi-god was against the rules, Odysseus couldn't help but brag about it, his bravery and ability in escaping the clutches of the demi-god.

Thus, the correct answer is the fourth option.

What is the best way for students to evaluate their readiness to learn?
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

the answer is by examining their study habits, but all of these factors contribute in one way or another. for example, if you don't get enough sleep you won't be as aware as you should be, if you're not watching your diet and what you eat it can be detrimental to your health, like how too many sweets can cause cavities and diabetes(although diabetes is also genetic) or if you are abusing things like drugs or alcohol, it could be potentially fatal. physical activity is also important because it get your heart rate up and blood pump makes you alert and raises your mood. so all four factor in at some point, and losing any is terrible for anybody. the answer you are probably looking for is: by examining their study habits.

Jlenok [28]
Relating these to Australian slang words, if "banger" relates to a sausage, then "cocky" would be short for a cockatoo. A cockatoo is a bird that is a native to Australia. Though "cocky" may also mean someone who is overconfident in a bossy way, seeing as how banger is used as a slang word, cocky as a cockatoo is more fitting.
