Read the excerpt from Part 3 of *The Odyssey* by Homer:

"I made straight for the ship, roused up the men
to get aboard and cast off at the stern.
They scrambled to their places by the rowlocks
and all in line dipped oars in the gray sea."

Based on the excerpt, readers can conclude that Odysseus’s men:

A. enjoy their leisure time.
B. appreciate their jobs.
C. respect their leader.
D. forge close friendships.

respect their leader.
In this passage, Odysseus is recounting one of the many times he and his men needed to get out to sea quickly. Readers can conclude that the men respect their leader because in the passage Odysseus gives them orders and they quickly obey. He says that they "scrambled to their places" and rowed "all in line". There is no mention of dissent, hesitation, or questions from his men.
