Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of The Travels of Marco Polo. They have plenty of ambergris, because whales abound in these seas, and also cachalots. And since they catch great numbers of both, they are never short of ambergris; for you know it is the whale that produces ambergris. They have leopards and lynxes and lions also in great numbers. Other beasts, such as harts, stags, and roebuck and such-like game animals, are also abundant, besides game-birds of many kinds. There are also many ostriches of huge size. The great diversity of birds, quite different from ours, is truly marvelous. Which quotation from the excerpt best reflects the author’s subjective perspective about the fauna of Madagascar? “They have plenty of ambergris, because whales abound in these seas, and also cachalots.” “They have leopards and lynxes and lions also in great numbers.” “Other beasts, such as harts, stags, and roebuck and such-like game animals, are also abundant, besides game-birds of many kinds.” “The great diversity of birds, quite different from ours, is truly marvelous.”
