The answer is A. The men send by Odysseus to investigate the land they had landed upon became forgetful after eating Lotus plants.

 

EXPLANATION

The excerpt is from an ancient Greek poem titled The Odyssey. The Odyssey is attributed to Homer and a sequel to Iliad. The Odyssey is the second-oldest extant work of Western literature, it is seen as the fundamental to the modern Western canon. Iliad is the oldest, and The Odyssey is the second oldest. It is believed that The Odyssey was composed around the end of the 8th century BC, somewhere in Ionia, around the Greek coastal region of Anatolia.

 

The poem is focusing on a Greek hero named Odysseus, he is the main character of the poem. Odysseus is also known as Ulysses in the Roman myths. Odysseus was the king of Ithaca. Allegedly, it takes Odysseus ten years to finally reach Ithaca after the Trojan War that lasts for 10 years long.

 

Because of his absence, it is finally assumed that Odysseus had died, and his wife Penelope with his son Telemachus has to deal with a group of unruly suitors, the Mnesteres or Proc. They compete for Penelope’s hand in marriage.

 

The Odyssey was first written in Homeric Greek. Later, The Odyssey was translated into a lot of modern languages all around the world. The poem tells about the influence of events on choices about women and slaves, besides the actions of fighting man. These days, the word Odyssey is also known as an epic voyage.

In the second paragraph, what is the idea the author is trying to convey about the book, using descriptors like "not textbooks,"
rewona [7]

<span>I believe the correct answer is the second statement – that anyone can understand and enjoy the books.</span>

 

In the second paragraph of “Preface to Buddhism and Buddhists in China”, the idea that author is trying to convey about the book, using descriptors like "not textbooks," "impressionistic," and "introductions" is that everyone can enjoy and understand books as the purpose of each volume in this series is impressionistic rather than definitely educational.
