[Same Passage as Above]
Why was Odysseus distributing the gifts?
- ABecause he was very generous and wanted to help the people of Scyros who could not afford such gifts.
- BBecause he knew Achilles’ fascination for jewellery and wanted to gift him earrings and other ornaments.
- CBecause he was pleased after witnessing the performance of the dancers of Scyros.
- DBecause he wanted to take Lycomedes to war and had come to gift him swords and shields.
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
According to the passage, explicitly stated in the first paragraph: Odysseus says, "We are truly honoured by your performance; not everyone can say that they have seen the dancers of Scyros. As tokens of our admiration we have brought gifts for you and your king." This shows that the stated reason for giving gifts was being pleased/honored by their dance performance. Hence, Option C is correct.
