Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo. This province produces great quantities of excellent white incense

, and also dates in great abundance. No grain is grown here except rice, and not much of that; but it is imported from abroad at a big profit. Fish is plentiful, notably tunnies of large size, which are so abundant that two of them can be bought for a Venetian groat. The staple diet consists of rice, meat, and fish. . . . As for the incense of which I have spoken, which grows here in such profusion, the lord buys it for 10 gold bezants a cantar and then sells it to foreign merchants and others for 40 bezants a cantar. The lord of Shihr does this on behalf of the sultan of the province of Aden. For the sultan of Aden has incense bought up throughout his dominions at the price of 10 bezants and afterwards sold at 40 from which he derives an immense profit. Which detail best indicates the author's opinion of the incense that this province produces?
The author notes that the incense is produced in "great quantities."
The author uses the phrase "immense profit" to describe the value of the incense.
The author includes the detail that the lord "sells it to foreign merchants."
The author uses the word "excellent" to describe the incense grown in the province.

The answer is: The author uses the word "excellent" to describe the incense grown in the province.

An opinion is a point of view or judgement of something, which is not necessarily based on evidence or observation. In the excerpt from "The Travels of Marco Polo," the narrator indicates his opinion of the incense the province produces with the word excellent, which means extremely good or outstanding.

The rest of the alternatives are incorrect because they are based on facts and knowledge, and not someone's view or feeling.
