Read the excerpt from the odyssey. in the next land we found were cyclopes, giants, louts, without a law to bless them. in ignorance leaving the fruitage of the earth in mystery to the immortal gods, they neither plow nor sow by hand, nor till the ground, though grain— wild wheat and barley—grows untended, and wine-grapes, in clusters, ripen in heaven's rain. cyclopes have no muster and no meeting, no consultation or old tribal ways, but each one dwells in his own mountain cave dealing out rough justice to wife and child, indifferent to what the others do. what inference can be made about the cyclopes? they are hospitable and welcoming to visitors of their homes. they are uncivilized creatures who are potentially dangerous. they will band together against common enemies, if needed. they value education and sophistication above everything else.

From the excerpt we have in the question it can be rightly said of the Cyclopes to be UNCIVILIZED CREATURES WHO ARE POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS.

The Cyclopes are huge and massive creatures who were rewarded by the Gods so as to have food in abundance for their upkeep and growth. They kicked against the presence of any visitors and inhibited visitors from coming to their place. When Cyclops became aware that Odysseus and his men had arrived at his land, he apprehended them and kept them in his cave where he dealt with them in the most hostile fashion. He had the mindest of assassinating each and every one of them but Odysseus cunningly deceived him and preserved himself and his men from his captivity.

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.

i would say the correct answer is not concrete.
