The correct answer is C.  It is wise to follow the counsel of trusted friends.

Explanation:

In the excerpt from The Odyssey, a friend of Odysseus the main character advises him to take what they need from the cave and then just leave, this can be seen in the section "Why not take these cheeses, get them stowed, come back, throw open all the pens, and make a run for it?." However, Odysseus decides not to follow this advice due to his curiosity to see the caveman "Yet I refused. I wished to see the caveman", and this decision has terrible consequences Odysseus recognized "no pretty sight, it turned out, for my friends"; indeed due to this decision many died. According to this, the main underlying message or theme is that "it is wise to follow the counsel of trusted friends" because in the story not doing this has terrible consequences.

Answer:

Comma Splice

Explanation:

Comma splice can also be known as comma fault.

COMMAN SPLICE can be defined as the use of a comma to join two clauses that are independent which is why comma splice is a common grammatical error in English because two independent clauses are incorrectly joined by a comma in order to make one sentence which is why to avoid comma splices, we need to be able to identify an independent clause.

Therefore comma splice is sometimes used in literary writing in order to help convey a particular mood of informality.

In order word COMMAN SPLICE can be seen as the way in which comma is use to join two complete sentences without placing an appropriate joining word between them.
