D) "I'm sorry, I can't return at this time."

Answer 1

Odysseus's reply to the Cyclops is 'No, I cannot trust you after what you've done.' The Cyclops's curse on Odysseus is that he should face troubles and sorrows on his journey back home.

Step-by-step explanation:

Odysseus's reply to the Cyclops can be underlined as option C) "No, I cannot trust you after what you've done." This shows that Odysseus does not trust the Cyclops and does not want to return to him. The Cyclops's curse on Odysseus can be underlined in the following lines: 'Hear now how I lay my curse upon him.

Homeward bound may he come, having passed through sore troubles all on a stranger's ship, and find sorrows in his home.' This curse demonstrates the Cyclops's anger and desire for misfortune to befall Odysseus.
