Read the following excerpt from "In the One-Eyed Giant's Cave": That made the rage of the monster boil over. Ripping off the peak of a towering crag, he heaved it so hard the boulder landed just in front of our dark prow and a huge swell reared up as the rock went plunging under — a tidal wave from the open sea. Which inference about the giant is best supported by this excerpt?
a. The giant throws a large rock at a ship.
b. The giant has a competitive nature.
c. The giant wants to recreate the tall crag.
d. The giant has a violent temper.

D). The giant has a violent temper.

Explanation:

As per the question, option D i.e. 'the giant has a violent temper' displays the inference about the giant that is best supported by the given excerpt from the book 9 of 'The Odyssey'. This attitude of the giant is reflected through the use of words that have been employed by Homer to highlight his rage and temper like 'boil over', 'Ripping off the peak', 'heaved it so hard'. When Odysseus(the protagonist of the text) reaches the land of one-eyed cyclops, the author displays his violent and raging temper. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
