The statement that is true about the culture that produced this text is that the people lived near the ocean or sea. Option C is correct.

"ould see nothing but small rolling waves. The vast ocean, in every direction, seemed to go on forever before finally meeting the horizon." This lines justify my answer.

There is no evidence to affirm that the people of that culture worshipped the horizon, it is only mentioned. They did not valued isolation or being alone, since it is stated that because of his loneliness and being lost, Odysseus was close to despair.

Answer 2

The people lived near the ocean or sea.
