Why is Ulysses’ shooting the arrow through the twelve axes such a significant feat in the Odyssey?

A.) By doing it, and doing it so easily and quickly, he wordlessly proves who he is and is able to begin the slaughter of the suitors immediately before anyone can really react.
B.) The feat shows how very keen his eye is and how accurate the bow shoots. No matter who he is, he’s suddenly at an advantage in the crowd of suitors.
C.) Should he have waited until the morning, he might have become tense as he thought about it. The immediacy of his feat showed presence of mind.
D.) The suitors are at a huge disadvantage at this point because most of them have just been defeated. Ulysses banks on their uncomfortable situation and shows himself a thorough archer.

Follow the directions (and example) given to create your own sonnet. william shakespeare's sonnet 130 my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun, coral is far more red, than her lips red, if snow be white, why then her breasts are dun: if hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head: i have seen roses damasked, red and white, but no such roses see i in her cheeks, and in some perfumes is there more delight, than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. i love to hear her speak, yet well i know, that music hath a far more pleasing sound: i grant i never saw a goddess go, my mistress when she walks treads on the ground. and yet by heaven i think my love as rare, as any she belied with false compare. instructions: write fourteen lines of iambic pentameter. use a sonnet rhyme scheme. use the first eight lines to set up your idea (the octave). use the last six lines to conclude your idea (sestet). (variety may be added by including a substitute foot from time to time such as the two anapests in line 3 above.) work in small groups giving each other feedback. reading the sonnet aloud allows you to hear the words and rhythms of the lines. generate questions that will clarify the use of words and forms. for example: was the idea of the sonnet presented in the first eight lines? how was sound used to enhance the meaning of the sonnet?
