Question

How does the boldness Odysseus shows in the Cyclops’s cave drive subsequent plot events?
A)Several of Odysseus’s men are eaten.
B)Odysseus and his men spend the night in the Cyclops’s cave.
C)Odysseus gives the Cyclops wine to drink.
D)Odysseus and his men blind the Cyclops.

I think that it is b or d

Answer 1

The problem with this question is this phrasing: "drive subsequent plot events." All four of these choices involve what happens IN THE CAVE, not any of the future events.

What O's cleverness and boldness did was inspire his remaining men to stick with him, through thick and thin (as the saying goes).

Answer 2

How does where they spent the night have anything to do with subsequent events? What happened later that was caused by something to do with the Cyclops? I reject b as an answer.

Answer 3

Um,who was the Cyclops's father, who later took revenge on Odysseus because of what Odysseus did to Cyclops?

Answer 4

so its d?
