Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo.
Natasha_Volkova [10]

The correct answer to which detail in the excerpt best supports the author's opinion that Kalhat is a secure city is "The Malik of Hormuz fears no one when he is in Kalhat".

The author states that <em>an important person </em>like the Malik of Hormuz goes to Kalhat whenever he is<em> "at war with neighbors more powerful than himself"</em> because the city<em> "is strongly built and situated"</em>, thus, <em>he feels entirely protected from enemies and fears no one.</em> By doing that, <em>the author supports his opinion that Kalhat is a secure city, after all, an important and influent character trusts in its safety.</em> So, the correct answer is to which detail in the excerpt best supports the author's opinion about Kalhat's security is " "The Malik of Hormuz fears no one when he is in Kalhat".

The correct answer couldn't be <em>"Ships from India frequent the port in Kalhat"</em> because that <em>doesn't imply, without a context, that the city is safe. </em>That statement could even, if inserted in a <em>different context</em>, imply that due to the frequency of ships in Kalhat it could be considered dangerous. It's not the case, because that author drives the reader into understanding that the port is safe and protected. Still, <em>this sentence alone doesn't support the author's opinion about the fact that the city is secure.</em> Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be "Ships from India frequent the port in Kalhat".

The correct answer couldn't be <em>"A large number of war horses are shipped from Kalhat"</em> because, although this statement <em>might convey that the city is disposed of many war horses and that could mean strong military activity</em>, it <em>doesn't relate</em> this fact with Kalhat's security. So, this answer doesn't support the author's opinion that Kalhat is a secure city.

The correct answer couldn't be <em>"Spices and other goods are sold in Kalhat"</em> because this detail doesn't relate to Kalhat's security, it is <em>much more an observation about the city's commerce</em>. Hence, this answer doesn't support the author's opinion about the city's security.

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

B). is really really hard, yo.

Explanation:

The Tone is described as the approach or attitude adopted by the author towards a specific subject matter. It allows him/her to create the desired mood and offer a perspective to the readers to read or feel the text accordingly.

In the given paragraph, the author adopts a sincere and formal tone and the phrase 'is really really hard, yo' does not match the seriousness of the passage. <u>This phrase is quite informal(as reflected by the repetition of 'really' and use of word 'yo') which is breaking the sincerity of the tone</u>. The other options maintain the depth and formality of the approach adopted by the author. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
