but in one stride he clutched at my companions

to beat their brains out, spattering the floor.

Answer:

An image of helplessness.

Explanation:

The excerpt doesn't describe Cyclops' home, nor does it compare Odysseus and his men. It is a simile, which compares two things, his men and squirming puppies. Cyclops doesn't have any pets that are introduced in this excerpt. It compares the men to innocent animals, but the more descriptive and definitive answer is C.
