Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

but Cyclops went on filling up his belly
with manflesh and great gulps of whey,
then lay down like a mast among his sheep.

What two unlike elements are being compared in this simile?

the Cyclops and the mast of a ship
the Cyclops’ belly and his sheep
manflesh and gulps of whey
a mast and a flock of sheep
