Which statement BEST describes what happens when Polypheme calls for help?

The other Cyclops come to help then leave because they believe no one has hurt Polypheme.

The other Cyclops cannot be bothered to come and help Polypheme.

None of the other Cyclops like Polypheme, so they laugh at his injury.

The other Cyclops are afraid when they see what Odysseus did to Polypheme, so they run away.

Answer:

The other Cyclops come to help then leave because they believe no one has hurt Polypheme.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Odysseus and his men get to the cave of Polyphemus, the one-eyed cyclops, they find him tending to his sheep and Odyssey tricks him and tells him that his name is Nobody and after Polyphemus has drunk wine and fallen asleep, Odysseus and his men stab his eye and make their escape.

While Polyphemus cries for help, he describes Odysseus as Nobody as the other Cyclops believe he's drunk so they leave him be.
