Read the following passage from the Odyssey, in which the Cyclops has captured Odysseus and his men: “’You are a ninny,
or else you come from the other end of nowhere,
telling me, mind the gods! We Cyclopes
care not a whistle for your thundering Zeus
or all the gods in bliss; we have more force by far.
I would not let you go for fear of Zeus—
you or your friends—unless I had a whim to.’”
From this passage, the reader is most likely to determine that the Cyclops
A. has no intention of letting Odysseus and all of his men go.
B. plans to eat Odysseus and all of his men.
C. is very intelligent and is also a trickster.
D. is more powerful than Zeus or any other god.
