1. impinge = strike
The word impinge can have various meanings, but in the case above, it means to strike. When 'the rain impinge[d] upon the earth,' it means that it started raining, the rain started striking the earth. To impinge means that something starts, and usually something negative.
2. garrulous = loquacious
The word garrulous refers to someone who talks excessively, likes to talk a bit too much, and usually about something trivial. Loquacious is a fancy word to denote the same thing, although it has a more positive connotation - it refers to someone who can speak nicely.
3. pious = religious

The word ruinous refers to something which is in ruins, which is falling apart. The word which means the same thing is dilapidated - both of these words are usually used to describe buildings that are very old, and derelict, and are practically in ruins.

<u>Answer</u>:
The characteristic of "In the One-Eyed Giant's Cave" from Homer's Odyssey best qualifies it as an epic because C: The Cyclops is a massive monster in size and power.
<u>Explanation</u>:
“Epic” means a long story or a poem based on an ancient traditional hero or legendary person meant to describe his heroism. The story "In the One-Eyed Giant's Cave" from Homer's Odyssey is an epic describing one-eyed giant Cyclops named Polyphemus and how heroically Odyssey fought with him and escaped from his trap. So, option D describes the body type of Cyclops and is the correct option. Cyclops had this one big eye in the centre of his forehead.
Odysseus was returning from Troy and got trapped in the giant’s cave. To escape from the cave, the hero manipulated the monster with wine and as soon as he slept, he forced a burning stick into his eye.
