PLEASE HURRY! IM TIMED! 100 POINTS

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.


'O Cyclops! Would you feast on my companions?

Puny, am I, in a Caveman's hands?

How do you like the beating that we gave you,

you dam ned can nibal? Eater of guests

under your roof! Zeus and the gods have paid you!'


According to this excerpt, Odysseus


is fearful of the Cyclops.

is prideful and overly confident.

has been weakened by the Cyclops.

has regrets about staying on the island.

Answer 1

According to this excerpt, Odysseus is prideful and overly confident.

Step-by-step explanation:

Reading the excerpt we can see that there is no indication that Odysseus was fearful of or weakened by the Cyclops

The part about regrets about staying on the island is totally irrelevant since nothing is mention in the excerpt regarding this

The manner in which Odysseus talks to the Cyclops indicates pride and confidence, perhaps a bit of over-confidence

So the second choice fits the excerpt
