Answer:

C. Dancing

F. Singing

Explanation:

In Book VIII of "The Odyssey" by Homer, Alcinous the king of the Phaeacians boasts that his people "excel the world / at boxing, wrestling, jumping, speed of foot". Once the game was over, he again asserted that not only are they good in the physical exertion sports, but they are also good in dancing and singing. "We are extremely fond of good dinners, music, and dancing". He then asks his servants to start singing and dancing to proof it to Odysseus.
