Question

read the excerpt from the odyssey. but the man skilled in all ways of contending, satisfied by the great bows look and heft, like a musician, like a harper, when with quiet hand upon his instrument he draws between his thumb and forefinger a sweet new string upon a peg: so effortlessly odysseus in one motion strung the bow. according to this excerpt, how has odysseus changed over the course of his adventure? he has become more humble and patient in battle. he has learned to play the harp very beautifully. he has found several new ways to string a bow. he has slowly become less satisfied with his skills.

Explanation:

The text describes Odysseus stringing the bow effortlessly, which shows a level of patience and control (like a musician/harper with their instrument). The other options are not supported - there's no mention of playing the harp beautifully, new ways to string a bow (just one effortless motion), or being less satisfied with skills.

Answer:

He has become more humble and patient in battle.
