Answer: B. He honors his lost soldiers before continuing the journey.

Explanation:

The Odyssey, Homer's epic, tells a story about Odysseus, a hero trying to return home after the Trojan War. In doing so, he battles strange creatures and faces the gods' anger. In this particular excerpt, three of his soldiers have died, and he is aware that he has lost his companion. Odysseus honors them and demonstrates that he really does care about his people.

Odysseus will eventually lose all of his men, which will only make the process of coming home harder. Due to Athena's help, despite all the hardships, Odysseus will finally manage to return home to his family and kingdom.
