The correct answer to this is:

The Cyclops is compared to a mast, or flagpole, because of his size.

The similie suggests that even Cyclops is laying down he is still huge and looks like a mast among the sheep.

In the excerpt from Part 2 of the Odyssey, Cyclops is not compared to Zeus, rather the men are "lifting hands to Zeus" (praying) because they are being eaten and need help from Gods.

Also, Cyclops does not surrender, he is taking a nap as he is full after his meal.

2. These factors are important because they allow the construction of a coherent, respectful, intriguing and cohesive debate. This is because a debate with well-constructed and true arguments, is capable of demonstrating various facets of a topic efficiently and thoroughly.

3. Deductive arguments are those that contain enough information for a conclusion on a given topic to be created, inductive arguments, on the other hand, do not promote the creation of a conclusion, but provide information that provides the basis and the necessary grounds for there to be a deduction and valid reasoning.

Answer:

Compares the "ashes of youth" to a "youth"

Therefore, it's comparing the life of a youth as ashes of youth which is gone as one on their deathbed which means inevitable death.
