Answer 1

D. It emphasizes his disregard for other cultures

Step-by-step explanation:

The excerpt shown above reveals Odysseus' contempt for cultures other than his own. This contempt made him not bother to obtain information about other peoples, much less to look for an information base that would allow him to get to know them better. This lack of knowledge generated many conflicts for him, which could be avoided with a little more consideration for foreign cultures.
