im pretty sure 1 and 3 are right, but number 2 is c

I think you're right on all three.

the 1st and 3rd gota be right..

Choice A - That's right, the passage suggests that the Cyclops has no intention of letting Odysseus and his men go. Trust me, they're not going to be having a friendly dinner party.

Choice C - You got it! Odysseus implies that the Cyclopes lack a structured life in a well-organized society. Maybe they could use some organizational skills.

Choice D - Nope, wrong answer! Penelope's sense of devotion and faithfulness doesn't really affect plot events in the Odyssey. She's more focused on avoiding those pesky suitors and staying faithful to her husband.

For the first question, to determine the answer, we can look at the statement made by the Cyclops in the passage. The Cyclops says "I would not let you go for fear of Zeus— you or your friends—unless I had a whim to." This statement suggests that the Cyclops has no intention of letting Odysseus and all of his men go. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A) has no intention of letting Odysseus and all of his men go.

For the second question, to determine the answer, we can examine the description given by Odysseus about the Cyclopes. Odysseus says "Cyclopes have no muster and no meeting, no consultation or old tribal ways, but each one dwells in his own mountain cave dealing out rough justice to wife and child, indifferent to what the others do." This description implies that the Cyclopes lack a structured life in a well-organized society. Therefore, the correct answer is choice C) structured life in a well-organized society.

For the third question, to determine the answer, we need to consider how Penelope's sense of devotion and faithfulness affects the plot events in the Odyssey. The passage does not provide direct evidence for the effect of Penelope's devotion and faithfulness, but we can infer that her devotion and faithfulness lead her to avoid her suitors. This can be seen in the options presented, particularly in choice D) She utilizes a variety of methods to avoid her suitors, causing the archery contest. Therefore, the correct answer is choice D) She utilizes a variety of methods to avoid her suitors, causing the archery contest.
