Question

URGENT In The Odyssey, the main character, Odysseus, is the captain of his ship. He has to make a terrible choice to sail between two monsters —Scylla and Charybdis. If he sails closer to Scylla, the monster will try to grab his crew and eat them. If he sails closer to Charybdis, the whole ship might get dragged down into a whirlpool.

How does Captain Telemach face a similar problem? Use text evidence in your answer.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

They were regarded as maritime hazards located close enough to each other that they posed an inescapable threat to passing sailors; avoiding Charybdis meant passing too close to Scylla and vice versa.

Answer 2

Answer: ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Step-by-step explanation:

Captain Telmach faced a similar problem because he had to choose whether to send down a scientist to find more about the planet or use their last probe. In paragraph 7, the text states, "After all, he had a ship full of people to consider, an entire species to rescue. Without this planet, he had no way of knowing when, if ever, he could find a new home for humanity in time...He had to make a decision: He could send a scientist down and find out more, but it was a much riskier proposition. Losing their last probe would be difficult for them, but a life—that was different."
