Answer:

He wanted to inform readers about what he saw and learned on his journey.

Explanation:

Marco Polo was a traveler who traveled from Europe to Asia. At the age of seventeen, Marco left for the voyage to Asia. He is considered as the world's first travel writer. His travelogue contains the details of his journey and of what he saw on his voyage. The "Travels of Marco Polo" is the title of his travelogue. It was originally titled as "The Description of the World". The credibility of his travelogue is doubted as he wrote about such places that were never found to exist.

The purpose of Polo's writing travelogue was to inform his readers about the things and places he went and saw and things that he learned.

So, the correct answer is third option.

antoniya [11.8K]

<u>Answer</u>:

<u>The reference highlights President Eisenhower’s deep dislike of the governor and shows his willingness to remove him from office.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Indeed, it reaffirms the reasons for the President's removal of Governor Faubus from office.

Remember, back in the 1950s during the racial discrimination crises, the Supreme Court made a unanimous decision to allow black students to attend the same school with the whites.

However, Governor Faubus went against the court ruling by directing that black students be prevented from coming to the Little Rock Central High School. An action that made Eisenhower dislike him.

lara [203]

A. Recall a familiar text.

An allusion is a reference to another published work. In this case, the allusion is to the Pledge of Allegiance. Instead of the just saying the name of the text, the author alludes to it by quoting the first line. For readers who know the Pledge of Allegiance this may spark in them a sense of patriotism as they may then recite the entire pledge. The reader uses this allusion to further the point about patriotism as a routine taught in schools.
