What theme is best revealed by this conflict?a. by explaining his haphazard travels b. by describing his loyalty to Zeus c. by showing his physical weakness d. by revealing his ignorant assumptions

d. By revealing his ignorant assumptions.

Explanation:

"The Odyssey" by Homer is one of the greatest of epics ever written in history. It tells the journey of the protagonist Odysseus and his numerous encounters, be it god or man.

The given excerpt from Part 2 of the epic shows Odysseus' ignorance in the belief that even the cyclops will fear or revere the same gods that he, and humans, do fear. But contrary to that belief, the Cyclops have no such fear for the gods. This conflict between the belief that by threatening the cyclops with the name of the divine gods, they will be able to beat them is a sure sign of Odysseus' ignorance.This conflict reveals the theme that his assumptions about the Cyclops is ignorant.

type of error:

the error in the sentence is a "dangling modifier". a dangling modifier is a phrase, word or clause that "dangles" because there is not target to modify. in this case, "after mopping the floor" is the dangling modifier since it has no word to modify. the noun "house" cannot mop the floor; therefore there is a mistake in the writing of the sentence.
