question 7 of 10
how does homer identify odysseus as the protagonist of the story?
a. odysseus struggles with internal conflicts throughout the story.
b. odysseus gives a speech at the kings banquet.
c. odysseus has a goal, and the cyclops gets in the way of his goal.
d. odysseus has something in common with the cyclops.

Explanation:

A protagonist typically has a goal and faces obstacles. In the Odyssey, Odysseus' goal is to return home, and the Cyclops is one of the major obstacles in his journey. Internal conflict alone doesn't solely identify him as the protagonist. Giving a speech is not the main way to identify a protagonist. Having something in common with an antagonist is not a key factor in identifying the protagonist.

Answer:

C. Odysseus has a goal, and the Cyclops gets in the way of his goal
