That made the rage of the monster boil over. Ripping off the peak of a towering crag, he heaved it so hard the boulder landed just in front of our dark prow and a huge swell reared up as the rock went plunging under a tidal wave from the open sea. Which inference about the giant is best supported by this excerpt?

This question belongs to Book 9 of "The Odyssey". "The Odyssey" is Homer's epic poem about the struggle that the Greek hero Odysseus suffered to return home after the Trojan War. Odysseus is the hero of the Odyssey and the king of Ithaca. In this book, Odysseus and his men arrive at the land of giant, one-eyed cyclops and are captured.

According to this excerpt, the inference that is best supported about the giant is that he has a violent temper.
