Read the excerpt from part 3 of the odyssey by homer. they scrambled to their places by the rowlocks and all in line dipped oars in the gray sea. but soon an offshore breeze blew to our liking— a canvas-bellying breeze, a lusty shipmate sent by the singing nymph with sunbright hair. so we made fast the braces, and we rested, letting the wind and steersman work the ship. based on the excerpt, readers can conclude that odysseus (the speaker) keeps detailed records of the changing weather. credits the singing nymph for the favorable wind. enjoys the company of the new man aboard his ship. follows the orders issued by the ship’s steersman.

The answer is B: credits the singing nymph for the favorable wind.

After Odysseus leaves Circe, and having been favored with her advice for his journeys ahead, we encounter the scene that this excerpt treats, and we see that Odysseus feels blessed by the nymph “with sunbright hair” in the fact that the wind seems to be favoring him and allowing him to sail at ease. Odysseus gives credit to the nymph for this good fortune.
