question 10 of 10
which statement is an inference about the odyssey?

a. odysseus waited inside the cyclopss cave so that he could demand a gift from the creature.

b. the odyssey was composed by homer around 750 bce.

c. odysseuss behavior demonstrates positive cultural values of ancient greece.

d. the other epic attributed to homer is the iliad, in which odysseus is also a character.

Explanation:

An inference is a conclusion drawn from evidence or reasoning, not just a direct statement of fact. Option A describes a direct event from the story (a fact about Odysseus' actions). Option B states a widely - accepted fact about the composition of The Odyssey. Option D is a fact about another work by Homer. Option C interprets Odysseus's behavior to draw a conclusion about the cultural values of ancient Greece, which is an inference as it goes beyond the direct events of the story to make a broader conclusion.

Answer:

C. Odysseus's behavior demonstrates positive cultural values of ancient Greece.
