Transcript text: In the excerpt, the word "charm" is being compared with name.
Solution
The answer is "name."
Explanation:
In the excerpt from "The Odyssey," Odysseus uses the name "Nohbdy" (Nobody) as a clever trick to deceive the Cyclops and his companions. The word "charm" is being compared to the "name" because Odysseus's use of the name "Nohbdy" acts like a charm or a clever device that successfully deceives the Cyclops. The Cyclops's companions believe that no one has harmed him, allowing Odysseus and his men to escape.
