Answer 2

B. The main character journeys through distant lands, fighting to get home.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "In the One-Eyed Giant's Cave," the main character (Odysseus) has to fight a monster in order to complete a long journey that will bring him home. This is a common theme in epics. An epic is a story, most often in a poetic form, in which the deeds of a remarkable person are depicted. These usually include acts of heroism and extreme bravery. Therefore, the epic often uses a grandiose style to narrate them.
