Answer:

Part A: Odysseus does not always have good judgment.

Part B: "The soldiers advised against this, but Odysseus insisted."​

Step-by-step explanation:

Book IX of "Odyssey" shows the moment when Odysseus became very curious about the island of the Cyclops and what can be taken from it. Odysseus wants him and his men to invade the island and take from it what is advantageous to them, such as fruits and riches, but the Cyclopes are known to be extremely strong and violent creatures, which makes the men, who accompany Odysseus, do not want to go to the island and advise him to abandon this plan. However, Odysseus insists and ends up convincing the soldiers to go to the island with him.

This is a time when Odysseus does not show common sense, as he puts his team in great danger without any need. As a result, Odysseus and his men are attacked by the Cyclops, which causes the death of many soldiers.
