The central idea depicts the theme of the story. The sentence about the man sent by Odysseus to investigate the land should be included in the paraphrase. Thus, option A is correct.

<h3>What is paraphrasing?</h3>

The complete excerpt for the question is: Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.

Then I sent out two picked men and a runner to learn what race of men that land sustained. They fell in, soon enough, with Lotus-Eaters,

who showed no will to do us harm, only offering the sweet Lotus to our friends but those who ate this honeyed plant, the Lotus, never cared to report, nor to return:

they longed to stay forever, browsing on that native bloom, forgetful of their homeland.

Paraphrasing is a writing and editing method that revises and rewrites the original sentences. It uses the same words from the original text and maintains its true meaning. In the heroic story of Odysseus, his journey has been depicted.

When Odysseus sent his men to explore the land they were transfixed at the same location and were resistant to move forward and just wanted to eat the lotus plant. The men even forget to return to their own homeland.

Therefore, option A. the sentence about the man Odysseus sent to land should be included in the excerpt.

2.) You will create success if you, be kind.
