Which passage best reveals odysseus' intellect? a. “…i went up and chopped a length of about a fathom and handed it over to my companions and told them to shave it…” b. “and so the cyclops, whistling loudly, guided his fat flocks to the hills, leaving me there in the cave mumbling my black thoughts of how i might punish him.” c. “nobody is my name. my father and mother call me nobody, as do all the others who are my companions.” d. “next i told the rest of the men to cast lots, to find out which of them must endure with me to take up the great beam….”

C. “Nobody is my name. My father and mother call me Nobody, as do all the others who are my companions.”

Explanation:

Odysseus intellect is shown when he tells the cyclops that his name is nobody, he does this very strategically because he knows that he has to harm the cyclops in order to be able to escape from there, so when the cyclops asks for help he would say that nobody attacked him, and the other cyclops wouldn´t listen to him, that´s why from the options C is the one that reveals Odysseus intellect the best.
