Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the E) The thirst for knowledge and new experiences.

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that there are several references in the poem, and in this particular passage, to this concept, which turn it into a recurring theme. For instance, the speaker says: "How dull it is to pause [...] To rust unburnish'd" and "[...] this gray spirit yearning in desire to follow knowledge like a sinking star," just to name a few. Like Ulysses before embarking upon his final and challenging voyage, the speaker is also aware that his end is approaching, but rather than waiting for it passively, he decides to face the challenges and the struggles, and, moved by his thirst for knowledge, he keeps pushing onward. The death of a close friend at a very young age inspired Tennyson to write this poem in 1833.

-This tells us that their culture was strongly based upon nature and animals and such.

Clear as mud?

Let’s deconstruct an example from the great Winston Churchill. All the power words are underlined:

We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and of suffering. You ask, what is our policy? I can say: It is to wage war, by sea, land and air, with all our might and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tyranny, never surpassed in the dark, lamentable catalogue of human crime. That is our policy. You ask, what is our aim? I can answer in one word: It is victory, victory at all costs, victory in spite of all terror, victory, however long and hard the road may be; for without victory, there is no survival.

Inspiring, right?
