Read the excerpt from part 3 of the odyssey by homer.
so let me tell [circe’s] forecast: then we die
with our eyes open, if we are going to die,
or know what death we baffle if we can. sirens
weaving a haunting song over the sea
we are to shun, she said, and their green shore
all sweet with clover; yet she urged that i
alone should listen to their song. therefore
you are to tie me up, tight as a splint,
erect along the mast, lashed to the mast,
and if i shout and beg to be untied,
take more turns of the rope to muffle me.’
what conclusion about odysseus (the speaker) is best supported by the excerpt?
he trusts circe’s advice.
he remembers the sirens.
he questions his men’s strength.
he believes they will succeed.

21 balloons is the story of professor william sherman's travels.

in 1883, he set off from san francisco for a balloon ride over the pacific and was found a month later floating with 21 balloons in the atlantic ocean. this seemed an astounding feat and everyone wanted to know what had happened.    

professor sherman was loyal, however, and said he would tell his tale first to the western american explorers club in san francisco, of which he was a member. this built up suspense for several chapters before he began to tell of the wonders of his adventures and the amazing island of krakatoa, an island which had just been blown up by a volcano.  

the residents of krakatoa are all millionaires who live under a "gourmet government" of their own devising. we get to see all the incredible adventures that creative people with unlimited resources would create according to the author.
