Question

Read the excerpt from "The Seven Voyages of Sindbad the Sailor.”

"Oh!" replied Sindbad, "do not imagine that I am so unjust as to blame you. On the contrary, I understand your situation and can pity you. Only you appear to be mistaken about me, and I wish to set you right. You doubtless imagine that I have acquired all the wealth and luxury that you see me enjoy without difficulty or danger, but this is far indeed from being the case. I have only reached this happy state after having for years suffered every possible kind of toil and danger.

Which details from the text best support the central idea? Select two options.

"You appear to be mistaken about me."
"Do not imagine that I am so unjust as to blame you."
"I wish to set you right."
"I understand your situation and can pity you."
"I have acquired all the wealth and luxury that you see me enjoy."

Answer:

You appear to be mistaken about me

I wish to set you right.

Explanation:

Based on the given passage, Sinbad finds out that his situation has been misunderstood by the reader because the reader erroneously thinks that everything Sinbad acquired was without stress or hardwork.

As a result of this, Sinbad wants to explain himself so he won't be misunderstood.

The sentences "You appear to be mistaken about me" and "I wish to set you right." most clearly support the central idea.
