Which excerpt from Part 2 of The Odyssey best supports the conclusion that Odysseus’s fate is doomed?
The Cyclops bellowed and the rock roared round him, and we fell back in fear. But I kept thinking how to win the game: death sat there huge; how could we slip away? Ahead of our black prow it struck and sank whelmed in a spurning geyser, But Zeus disdained my offering; destruction for my ships he had in store

The best answer to your question: Which excerpt from Part 2 of the Odyssey best supports the conclusion that Odysseus´s fate is doomed? Would be: "But Zeus disdained my offering; destruction for my ships he had in store."

Explanation:

"The Odyssey" is an epic story that was written by Greek author Homer as the second book to his already published "The Iliad". The Odyssey narrates the events that take place as Odysseus, now returning from the Trojan War, makes his way home to Ithaca. Along the way, he must face not just terrible obstacles but also the games of the gods, on whose hands his fate rests. In this particular excerpt, "But Zeus disdained my offering; destruction for my ships he had in store" we can see that at points in the story it would seem as if Odysseus´ fate were simply outside of his own reach, and completely dependent on the whims of the gods. But that excerpt also shows that no matter what he does to change things, it might seem that, unless the gods intervene in his favor, and side with him, his objective of reaching home alive and of saving his crewmen, is basically pointless.
