The boldness that Odysseus shows in the Cyclops's cave drives subsequent plot events in two ways. First, Odysseus gives the Cyclops wine to drink, which leads to the Cyclops falling into a deep sleep, enabling Odysseus and his men to blind the Cyclops. This blinding of the Cyclops is the second way that Odysseus's boldness drives subsequent plot events. Blinding the Cyclops angers him and sets in motion a series of events, including Odysseus and his men narrowly escaping from the Cyclops's cave and facing the wrath of Poseidon, the Cyclops's father. Therefore, the correct answer is both option C) Odysseus gives the Cyclops wine to drink and option D) Odysseus and his men blind the Cyclops.
To determine how the boldness Odysseus shows in the Cyclops's cave drives subsequent plot events, we need to analyze the options provided: options C and D.
Option C states that Odysseus gives the Cyclops wine to drink, which is a true event that occurs in the story when Odysseus cleverly offers wine to the Cyclops, blinding his senses and impairing his judgment. However, while this action does contribute to the plot, it does not directly drive subsequent events.
On the other hand, option D states that Odysseus and his men blind the Cyclops. This action directly leads to a chain of events that significantly impacts the story. After blinding the Cyclops, Odysseus and his men escape from the cave by clinging to the bellies of the Cyclops' sheep, a daring and risky move to avoid being caught. This display of boldness sets off a series of consequences that ultimately drive the subsequent plot events.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D) Odysseus and his men blind the Cyclops.
