Question

read the excerpt from the odyssey.
then,
his chores being all dispatched, he caught
another brace of men to make his breakfast,
and whisked away his great door slab
to let his sheep go through—but he, behind,
reset the stone as one would cap a quiver.

the use of the epic simile in this excerpt helps readers
understand that
○ the cyclops has eaten another bunch of odysseuss
men.
○ odysseus and his men are still trapped inside the
cave.
○ the enormous stone is easily and routinely moved by
the giant cyclops.
○ the cyclops takes his sheep out to pasture with him
in the mornings.

Explanation:

The epic simile "reset the stone as one would cap a quiver" compares the Cyclops moving the massive stone to the simple, routine action of capping a quiver. This shows the stone, which traps Odysseus and his men, is handled easily and regularly by the giant Cyclops. The other options either are not supported by the simile or are unrelated to its purpose.

Answer:

the enormous stone is easily and routinely moved by the giant Cyclops.
