<span>He is an epic hero because he is a brave leader. I would say that this is the most likely description of Hector because he had the courage to go amongst the Trojans and quell their unrest by a motion with his spear and get their attention.</span>

Based on this passage, I believe that the description which best characterizes Hector is the last option - he is an epic hero because he is a brave leader.
You can see in the excerpt that once he started walking around his men, they all stopped talking and calmed down, as if they admired him a lot, which was the truth. He was a good leader and his men loved him, and were devastated when he was killed in the end.

Cloud [144]

Answer:

"A pall-like silence fell upon the patrons of the game"

Explanation:

Something pall is something dark, gloomy, related to sadness and death. This shows conflict as the narrator is describing a match in which everything could be defined by the last inning. "we'd put up even money now, with Casey at the bat". "clung to the hope...". That moment will be defined by the outcome of that last inning. That's why a "pall-like" silence fell upon the patrons of the game. Because everything will be defined after.
