This question is missing the excerpt. I will not add it here because it is quite long, but the complete question can be easily found online. The excerpt belong to "The Travels of Marco Polo".

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>

In many east asian cultures, people may answer "yes" to a question even though they mean "no" in order to?
Olin [163]

In many East Asian cultures, people may answer "yes" to a question even though they mean "no" in order to avoid embarrassing someone or help them save face.

<h3>What is an eastern culture?</h3>

The Chinese language and traditional writing systems of Hanzi, as well as common religious and ethical concepts represented by the Three Teachings Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, are some of the defining East Asian cultural traits.

Thus, it is correct to state that saying "yes" should not always be taken literarily in eastern cultures.

This is about Black Lives Matter ! 5 sentences and I’ll give Brainly
Mrac [35]

conversation about the Black Lives Matter Movement, and the legacy that sparked it, with one of the world's leading experts on policing

Professor Daniel Nagin is the 2014 recipient of the prestigious Stockholm Prize on Criminology, an elected fellow of the American Society of Criminology, and the Teresa and H. John Heinz III University Professor of Public Policy and Statistics. His research focuses on the evolution of criminal and antisocial behaviors over the life course the deterrent effect of criminal and non-criminal penalties on illegal behaviors, and the development of statistical methods for analyzing longitudinal data.

In the wake of recent incidences of lethal violence involving law enforcement officials in Baton Rouge, Falcon Heights, and Dallas, we sat down with Nagin to talk to him about what factors led to these events, why there is apparent mistrust between citizens and law enforcement officials, and what policy, research, and training measures can be taken to help prevent these situations in the future.
