Question

Which statement about Dhofar from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo shows an objective perspective? “The city has many other cities and towns under its sway.” “The city stands on the sea and has a very good port.” “Dhofar is a fine city of great size and splendour.” “As there is nothing else worth mentioning, we shall go on.”

Answer 1

The correct answer is “The city has many other cities and towns under its sway.”

We can state this is correct since an objective perspective is one that is not influenced by emotions, opinions, or personal feelings - it is a perspective based in fact, in things quantifiable and measurable and in this case the city does have other cities and towns under its reign "sway".

Answer 2

A) The city has many other cities and towns under its sway. This is the only answer in which there is nothing to argue about, all other choices you could provide something to contrary of the statement.
