Neither reply nor pity came from him,

but in one stride he clutched at my companions
and caught two in his hands like squirming puppies
to beat their brains out, spattering the floor.

What does the simile add to the passage? Check all that apply.

O a description of the Cyclops’ home
O a comparison between Odysseus and his men
O an image of helplessness
O a visual image of the Cyclops’ pets
O a comparison between the men and innocent animals

(please help soon! taking an exam, will take down your answer if not helpful.)
