Answer 1

Correct choices:
- Odysseus is more clever than the Cyclops.
- Odysseus shares some personality traits with the supernatural creatures he defeats.

Brief explanation:
Odysseus outwits Polyphemus with the “Nobody” trick and the escape plan, showing superior cunning. At the same time, Odysseus sometimes displays violent, prideful, or reckless traits (for example, blinding the Cyclops and later boasting), traits that echo the more brutal qualities of the monsters he faces.
