question 4 of 10
how does homer identify odysseus as the protagonist of the story?
a. odysseus struggles with internal conflicts throughout the story.
b. odysseus is confident and boastful in his abilities.
c. odysseus brings out the traits of other characters, like the cyclops.
d. odysseus is the main focus of the story.

Explanation:

A protagonist is the central character around whom the story revolves. Odysseus being the main - focus of the story makes him the protagonist. Internal conflict (option A) doesn't solely define a protagonist. Confidence and boasting (option B) are character traits but not the main factor in identifying a protagonist. Bringing out other characters' traits (option C) is more of a function of a foil or a supporting device rather than a defining trait of a protagonist.

Answer:

D. Odysseus is the main focus of the story
