1. how does odysseus defeat the cyclops polyphemus?

a) he fights him with a sword
b) he blinds him with a heated stake
c) he puts him to sleep with magic

Explanation:

In the myth of Odysseus and the Cyclops Polyphemus, Odysseus and his men get Polyphemus drunk, then use a heated wooden stake to blind his single eye, which is the way he is defeated. Option a is incorrect as a sword isn't used. Option c is incorrect as magic isn't involved in putting him to sleep (they use wine). Option d is incorrect as trapping in the cave is what Polyphemus does to them initially, not how Odysseus defeats him.

Answer:

b) He blinds him with a heated stake
