Read the excerpt from the odyssey.

'we are from troy, achaeans, blown off course
by shifting gales on the great south sea;
homeward bound, but taking routes and ways
uncommon; so the will of zeus would have it.
we served under agamemnon, son of atreus—
the whole world knows what city
he laid waste, what armies he destroyed.
it was our luck to come here; here we stand,
beholden for your , or any gifts
you give—as custom is to honor strangers.
we would entreat you, great sir, have a care
for the gods' courtesy; zeus will avenge
the unoffending guest.'

he answered this
from his brute chest, unmoved:

'you are a ninny,
or else you come from the other end of nowhere,
telling me, mind the gods! we cyclopes
care not a whistle for your thundering zeus
or all the gods in bliss; we have more force by far.
i would not let you go for fear of zeus—
you or your friends—unless i had a whim to.

what can be inferred about the cyclops?

he lives in fear of zeus and all the rest of the greek gods.
he sided and fought with the trojans during the war.
he is eager to provide food and shelter to his guests.
he does not live by the same rules and customs as the greeks.

Which excerpt from the awakening best highlights the elation edna feels when she thinks of robert? the morning was full of sunlight and hope. edna could see before her no denial—only the promise of excessive joy. she lay in bed awake, with bright eyes full of speculation. “he loves you, poor fool.” he would come to her in the afternoon or evening, sit and roll his cigarette, talk a little, and go away as he had done the night before. but how delicious it would be to have him there with her! robert did not come that day. she was keenly disappointed. he did not come the following day, nor the next. each morning she awoke with hope, and each night she was a prey to despondency. his horses were full of mettle, and even a little unmanageable. she liked the rapid gait at which they spun along, and the quick, sharp sound of the horses' hoofs on the hard road.
