Question

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

'Why not
take these cheeses, get them stowed, come back,
throw open all the pens, and make a run for it?
We'll drive the kids and lambs aboard. We say
put out again on good salt water!"
Ah,
how sound that was! Yet I refused. I wished
to see the caveman, what he had to offer-
no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends.
Based on this excerpt, what inference can be made
about Odysseus? Select two options.
□ Odysseus is a careless leader who does not care
about the safety of his crew.
□ Odysseus's curiosity about the Cyclops is stronger
than his good judgment.
□ Odysseus wants to see if the Cyclops has anything to
give to him and his men.
□ Odysseus is worried about appearing weak in front of
his men.
