Answer:
B. Far from other people and places
Explanation:
You haven't provided the excerpt, but I can answer your question anyway.
When you're unsure about what a word or phrase means, you can look it up in a dictionary - an alphabetically arranged listing of words that contains different information about them, such as their definitions, examples, origin, and pronunciation. Often, you can find definitions of phrases that contain these words. For example, you could search for the word <em>nowhere</em>, and in some dictionaries, you would run into this phrase.
Sometimes, context can help us determine what a word with multiple meanings means. However, the phrase <em>in the middle of nowhere</em> has only one meaning -<em> </em><em>in a very remote place, a place that is far from where other people live</em><em>. </em>This means that option B is the correct one.

C. The forces sent by Cicones to stop the plundering of Odysseus and his men were skilled and powerful.
Explanation:The passage shown in the question above shows how Odysseus and the men who were fighting him had difficulties, losses and obstacles to defeat the forces sent by Cicones. This is because the forces sent by Cicones were very strong, skillful and powerful and even Odysseus' trained and experienced men were unable to defeat them easily.
All this power and skill of the forces sent by Cicones, must be present in a paraphrase of this stretch.
Answer:
Choice C. "Last week, construction workers began building a new fire station around the corner."
Choice E. "Sometime last summer, the fruit stand down the street was replaced with a car wash."
Explanation:
In option C and E, we notice phrases addressing specific place of the subject/action and they are; "around the corner" and "stand down the street," respectively. However, we also notice another expression-"over there"- in point D, but it happens to be vague. Therefore, it cannot be considered.
