Answer:
C. He calls his name to the Cyclops even after his men beg him to
stay silent
Explanation:
The detail from the Odyssey that shows the pride and ability of Odysseus to be vain is the fact that he tells his real name to the Cyclops after they defeat him and sail away, he does that just to show off, and he puts his tripulation in danger because now the other cyclops will know who hurt their fellow cyclop friend and can look for revenge.
I want to say the answer is A
My explanation:
I don't think it is B because the author mentions how he still hears the dragon in the wind so the knight keeps his sword sharp because he never knows if the dragon will show up again.
I don't think it is C because it suggests he is certain of a peaceful life. Although like mentioned before he keeps his sword sharpened for the thought of a dragon attacking so i think the peaceful life is not certain forever.
Finally I think the answer is not D because it does not portray in the story of the knight being a hero.
Therefor I believe A is left as the best option.
I hope this helps, have an amazing day :)
