Answer:
The option that indicates that the author's purpose is to inform readers about travel south of Madagascar and Zanzibar is:
A. The author shares facts and specific details about the difficulty of sailing in the region.
Explanation:
Marco Polo was a Venetian adventurer who lived from 1254 to 1324. "The Travels of Marco Polo" is a book based on his trips and discoveries and written by Rusticiano de Pisa, who met Polo and had the chance to hear the adventurer himself tell the stories.
<u>In the excerpt that can be found online, the author is informing readers about travel south of Madagascar and Zanzibar. The passage is written as it it were Polo himself describing the difficult travel conditions in the region. He provides readers with facts about the currents that prevent ships from going a certain direction. According to him, the currents are always southward. A ship may take 20 days to go a certain way, but three months to return precisely because of the currents.</u>
Answer:
Farming can be concluded to have been adopted first than religion.
Explanation:
Farming and religion both are the important aspects of human life. Both of these has brought a remarkable change in the lives of humans.

Answer:
Answer B) It proves that the nursing home is not a pleasant place for Abuelo to live.
Explanation:
Answer A is not correct because there is no mention of any hospital.
Answer C although may sound correct, it mentions that the narrator was put off by the smell. If it were the correct answer, the narrator wouldn't feel as disgusted as they feel.
Answer D really has no relation to the excerpt. It could be true, but it is not demonstrated in <em>this</em> excerpt.
The only answer that is related to the excerpt and states plainly the point of the text is Answer B.
B. is the correct answer because, Russian is the name of a place or language and it needs to be capitalized. Also because the words: border, near, and the, don't need to be capitalized because they are not the name of something. Only Russian needs to be capitlaized. So it's B.
Hope I helped!
