Which statements describe how antinous is portrayed in this excerpt from book 21 of the odyssey?
antinous saw, and said:
"hence to your fields, ye rustics! hence away,
nor stain with grief the pleasures of the day;
nor to the royal heart recall in vain
the sad remembrance of a perish'd man.
enough her precious tears already flow—
or share the feast with due respect; or go
to weep abroad, and leave to us the bow,
no vulgar task! ill suits this courtly crew
that stubborn horn which brave ulysses drew.
i well remember (for i gazed him o'er
while yet a child), what majesty he bore!
and still (all infant as i was) retain
the port, the strength, the grandeur of the man."
he said, but in his soul fond joys arise,
and his proud hopes already win the prize.
to speed the flying shaft through every ring,
wretch! is not thine: the arrows of the king
shall end those hopes, and fate is on the wing!
he is deceitful and unfaithful to ulysses.
he is trustworthy and loyal to ulysses.
he wants to win the contest and take the place of ulysses.
he wants to win the contest to win penelope’s heart.
he mocks ulysses's bravery and strength.

[1] nothing that comes from the desert expresses its extremes better than the unhappy growth of the tree yuccas. tormented, thin forests of it stalk drearily in the high mesas, particularly in that triangular slip that fans out eastward from the meeting of the sierras and coastwise hills. the yucca bristles with bayonet-pointed leaves, dull green, growing shaggy with age like an old [5] man's tangled gray beard, tipped with panicles of foul, greenish blooms. after its death, which is slow, the ghostly hollow network of its woody skeleton, with hardly power to rot, makes even the moonlight fearful. but it isn't always this way. before the yucca has come to flower, while yet its bloom is a luxurious, creamy, cone-shaped bud of the size of a small cabbage, full of sugary sap. the indians twist it deftly out of its fence of daggers and roast the prize for their [10] own delectation why does the author use the words "bayonet-pointed" (line 4) and "fence of daggers" (line 9) to describe the leaves of the yucca tree? . to create an image of the sharp edges of the plant to emphasize how beautiful the plant's leaves are to explain when and where the plant grows to show how afraid the author is of the plant
