Which line from the excerpt supports the conclusion that Odysseus cares for his men? They fell in, soon enough, with Lotus-Eaters, offering the sweet Lotus to our friends - they longed to stay forever, browsing on I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships, They fell in, soon enough, with Lotus-Eaters,

who showed no will to do us harm, only

offering the sweet Lotus to our friends-

but those who ate this honeyed plant, the Lotus,

never cared to report, nor to return:

they longed to stay forever, browsing on

that native bloom, forgetful of their homeland.

I drove them, all three wailing, to the ships,

tied them down under their rowing benches,

and called the rest: All hands aboard;

come, clear the beach and no one taste

the Lotus, or you lose your hope of home.
