The two things that are being compared in the epic simile from "The Odyssey" are the stone to a quiver, as stated in option B and explained below.
The figure of speech known as simile is used to make a comparison between two different things. It relies on words such as "like" or "as" to make that comparison. The purpose of using a simile is to give one thing the qualities of another through comparison.
In the excerpt from "The Odyssey," the simile is found in the line "reset the stone as one would cap a quiver." As we can see, the stone is being compared to a quiver in the way it is reset by the Cyclops.
The missing excerpt is the following:
Then,
his chores being all dispatched, he caught
another brace of men to make his breakfast,
and whisked away his great door slab
to let his sheep go through—but he, behind,
reset the stone as one would cap a quiver.
