Question 5 • AZ-English Language Arts 9 A-CR
The episode at Cicones shows Odysseus and his men raiding the city, taking its wealth, and refusing to leave when warned. Their greed and overconfidence lead to losses, and Zeus sends storms that make their journey more dangerous. So choice C best connects greediness with punishment. The other choices describe temptation, forgetfulness, or hospitality rather than greed.
