KQ Image 2 shows how “Odysseus cunningly escapes the cove." Why does
777dan777 [17]

Another synonym of the word cunning is trickery. The caption used the word cunningly because Odysseus actually devised a trick to get free from the hostage of the Cyclops, Polyphemus.

  • In the story, "The Odyssey," we learn of Odysseus who was a warrior. He entered the cave of the one-eyed giants known as the Cyclops.

  • His men advised him to quickly take milk and cheese from the cave and escape but he refused to heed their pleas. Polyphemus captured him there.

  • To escape, he passed a wooden rod through fire when Polyphemus was away caring for his sheep. When Polyphemus came back, he got him intoxicated and told him that his name was "Nobody".

  • When drunk, he drove the rod through the eyes of Polyphemus so that when the other cyclops came to inquire what was happening, Polyphemus told them that "Nobody" was killing him.

  • Clinging to the belly of Polyphemus' sheep, Odysseus made his escape from the cave.

  • Conclusively, all of these were acts of trickery that demonstrate how Odysseus escaped from the cave.

Alex787 [66]

Answer:

B

. by suggesting a conflict between humans and the  environment

Explanation:

"Japanese Quince" tells the story of Mr. Nilson a hardworking man who has become so used to his job that enjoying his environment now seems strange. He gets up one day only to feel a sensation. He decides to have breakfast and take a look at new story headlines. This is an indication of his inclinations to business. To calm his tensed feelings, and get some air, he takes a walk but soon finds out that his tensed feelings and sensations remained unabated. Then he sees a Japanese Quince tree, and although he is excited to see it thriving, he is carried away by awkward thoughts of his neighbor who is also taking in the scenery. Finally, he goes back to his apartment only for the weird sensation to return.

The conflict with nature or the environment produces a strange feeling on Mr. Nilson thus making him consumed with thoughts instead of just enjoying the beautiful sights.
