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>

What 3 things stood out to you in romeo and juliet the most and why?
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

1.)The fact that even though their love was forbidden they still found a way to be with each other. That stuck out to me because no matter what was in their way the love they had for each other was always stronger than what they had to overcome

2.) Instead of talking to each other to figure things out they both ended up dying due to lack of communication. That stuck out to me because the ending couldve have been so different if they had talked things out before they acted on them.

3.) Romeo and juliet risked everything their families, lovers, friends. They had no problem throwing those things away for each other their commitment to each other was so strong. That stuck out to me because now adays not everyone is willing to drop everything for the one person they love.

Explanation: rewrite it however u want or choose completely different ones its up to u :)

Indirect &amp; direct characterization of odysseus
Pie
A writer creates and develops characters through c​haracterization. I​n d​irect characterization, a writer makes direct comments about a character’s nature and personality. In i​ndirect characterization, i​t is up to you to draw conclusions about a character based on the character’s appearance and what he or she says and does, as well as what other characters say and do in relation to that character. Much of Homer’s characterization of Odysseus relies on indirect information from which you can draw conclusions about this epic hero.
other characters say and think about him. Use these details to examine what this information reveals about the character of Odysseus
