Answer:

The characteristic of "In the One-Eyed Giant's Cave" from Homer's Odyssey  best qualifies it as an epic because C: The Cyclops is a massive monster in size and power.  

Explanation:

“Epic” means a long story or a poem based on an ancient traditional hero or legendary person meant to describe his heroism. The story "In the One-Eyed Giant's Cave" from Homer's Odyssey is an epic describing one-eyed giant Cyclops named Polyphemus and how heroically Odyssey fought with him and escaped from his trap. So, option D describes the body type of Cyclops and is the correct option. Cyclops had this one big eye in the centre of his forehead.  

Odysseus was returning from Troy and got trapped in the giant’s cave. To escape from the cave, the hero manipulated the monster with wine and as soon as he slept, he forced a burning stick into his eye.

government is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.

in paragraph 6 of "sinners in the hands of an angry god" by jonathan edwards, he talks about how doing good things alone will not save men from going to hell because they're at the mercy of the will of god. "spiritual reform" provides men with a false sense of safety.
