match the words in bold to their meanings within the context of the excerpts.

The words in bold match to their meanings this way:

There are some phrases in the sentence that makes us understand the meaning of CLOY'D in the context, phrases or words such as "high-sorrowful" which indicates the act of showing or feeling terribly sad, unhappy, melancholy. On the other hand, we have "cloyed" which means something about becoming sick. Both words have a meaning that involves sentiments and that is why "overly sentimental" is the best option.

   2.  HALF IMPAIRED → Partially damaged.

When it says "half", "one shade the more" and "one ray the less" is showing impartiality of something and also when it says "impaired" which is a synonym of damaged and spoiled, lead me to choose the "partially damaged" option.

   3.  LOTH → Reluctant or unwilling.

The very first sentence which is a question that says "what men or gods are these?" and the next part  indicates some confusion but in fact what it wants to do is "to pursuit" something, to go after it. So, according to the context of the excerpt the right option is reluctant or unwilling.

hospitality is mentioned many times in odysseus. it is known as xenia in the poem. one notable example is.

here is a poor man come, a wanderer,

driven by want to beg his bread, and everyone

in hall gave bits, to cram his bag—only

antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder

the lines show odysseus disguised as a beggar and shares his bread with another beggar in a weird way because he had to defeat him in order to eat. however, odysseus does not kill the old man and even shows his hospitality.

explanation:

have a great day!
