If he continued northwest across the Arabian Sea from Kalhat, Marco Polo would most likely describe Hormuz.
The city of Hormuz is located in current-day Iran, and it is located northwest from Kalhat - also known as Qalhat - which is located north of Sur, in Oman. This is the route that Polo took in his returning trip from China.
On the other hand, both Dhofar and Socotra are southwest from Kalhat, also in Oman. Also, while Venetia is northeast from Kalhat, it would be the last city he would have described after visiting Kalhat.
<span>When constructing an argument, one thing
writers do is concede a point. This
technique demonstrates to readers that the author considered both sides of the
argument and that the argument being presented is not entirely one sided. Thus, what the author is doing here is conceding
the point that tablets can be cost prohibitive.
However, when conceding a point, it is best to immediately follow it up
with a rebuttal. In this particular
instance, what the author should do is include information on cost and perhaps
try to undermine the point being conceded by mentioning the cost of text books,
which can, too, be quite pricey and cannot be updated as easily as information
on a tablet. </span>
