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>

William Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" revolves around the comedic yet romantic relationships of the numerous characters. The themes of this play involve mistaken identity, love, ambition, reality, and appearances.

In Act II scene iv, Duke Orsino asks his page Cesario, Viola in disguise, to give his love Olivia a gemstone. With the directive to<em> "Give her this jewel. Say My love can give no place, bide no denay." </em>This gem referred to is an opal, as stated by the clown when he said <em>"for thy mind is a very opal. I would have men of such constancy put to sea, that their business might be everything and their intent everywhere".</em> Just like the gen can change its colors, the clown points out that Count Orsino is exactly the same.
