What story are you talking about?
Answer:
B. study of disease
Explanation:
The paragraph talks about Tyrell's illness and his curiosity about the causes of this sickness. It also says that as a result of these discoveries, he became interested in "pathology". Based on the context, we would think that "pathology" should have something to do with disease or sicknesses and their root causes.
Look at the answer choices: we can definitely eliminate A and D because they don't pertain to disease at all. Now compare B and C. Well, B explicitly says "study of <em>disease</em>", which makes it the best candidate; "study of the body" is too vague, and it could talk about simply the workings of the body systems, rather than diseases.
The answer is B.
In Book XII of Homer's The Odyssey, Odysseus and his men are leaving the land of Circe and she advises them on where to go next. She tells them that they will run into Scylla or Charydbis. She told Odysseus that while Scylla would eat 6 of his men, the ship and the remaining men would be safe to continue their journey. On the other hand, if he sailed near Charydbis, it would swallow the whole ship and eat all men. It was a clear decision to make because it was preferable to lose only part of his crew than everyone.
