English

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.

how to add a fact to a argumenative essay intro about how GPS's Should NOT!!! be in other electronic devices
Anestetic [448]
Well if I read what you wrote correctly there are many ways you can do this. I will list a few below:

- First consider why are you arguing against GPS not being in other electronic devices. The goal of an argumentative essay is to argue using facts and logic vs emotion and opinons.

- Depending on the supporting information or point of view you have about GPS not being in electronic devices you should be able to input facts that support the intro. To find the facts that your essay need you will have to spend time in research and pulling out the right information for your argument.

I hope I helped. Please vote my answer brainliest. thanks!
