Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

Few words I shouted in reply to him:

'If I could take your life I would and take

your time away, and hurl you down to hell!

The god of earthquake could not heal you there!'

At this he stretched his hands out in his darkness

toward the sky of stars, and prayed to Poseidon:

'O hear me, lord, blue girdler of the islands,

if I am thine indeed, and thou art father:

grant that Odysseus, raider of cities, never

see his home: Laertes' son, I mean,

who kept his hail on Ithaca.

Based on his response to the Cyclops, what can be inferred about Odysseus?

A. He has put himself and his men in even more danger.

B. He is a wise leader who will find a safe and quick route to Ithaca.

C. He has forgiven the Cyclops for eating his men.

D. He is a calm man who relies on reason rather than emotion.

    The answer to the question is A because when Odysseus kills the cyclopse it takes him 10 years to return home which while on the journey home they have to go to Hades realm and they have to make it pass polythemus and Odysseus gets trapped on the island of where the witch Circe lived.
