Answer: Shiny! [Grabbing the thread, which she holds

throughout the scene.] (line 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer is ''Shiny!'', line 5. It is referring to the Race for Atalanta and Hippomenes. There were living mortals who were faster than Atalanta so Hippomenes knew that he needed help if he wants to win the race. Hippomenes then decided to ask Aphrodite for help, and she helped him because she did not like Atalanta's thinking about marriage and love.

So when the race began, there were 3 golden apples and when he threw the first one, it already has caught Atalanta's eyes. Then she grabbed the thread and the Hippomenes was leading the race.
