Answer:
D. It emphasizes his disregard for other cultures
Explanation:
The excerpt shown above reveals Odysseus' contempt for cultures other than his own. This contempt made him not bother to obtain information about other peoples, much less to look for an information base that would allow him to get to know them better. This lack of knowledge generated many conflicts for him, which could be avoided with a little more consideration for foreign cultures.
Answer: Desperate
Explanation:
In your options, I think that the most accurate word is ''desperate'' for his feelings about the birds.
He is feeling sorry for them because they are anxiously looking for food and they are hungry even though that process is natural.
He is feeling pity for them because they are diving quickly to look after their food and then they are feeling grateful for their meal.
c) chores
(this is just filler to meet the word requrement)
