Homer uses a simile to compare Telemachus's return. Which of the following does he compare it to:

• A man surf-casting on a point of rock for bass or mackerel, whipping his long rod to drop the sinker and the bait far out,

  will hook a fish and rip it from the surface

• Think of gold infused on silver by a craftsman, whose fine art

  Hephaestus" taught him, or Athena: on whose work moves to delight: just so she lavished beauty over Odysseus's head and shoulders.

• A dog who has been beaten too much

• a man whose dear and only son, born to him in exile, reared with labor, has lived ten years abroad and now returns
