The caption on page 22 says "these stories were often more entertaining than accurate." In other words, travelers sometimes A.Told stories that were not funny, not scary B.Told confusing stories C.Exaggerated or made things up to make their stories more interesting D.Left interesting details out of their stories

Answer 1

I believe that means travelers sometimes:

C. Exaggerated or made things up to make their stories more interesting.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break the quote down and analyze it:

- these stories were often more entertaining --> for something to be entertaining, it must be interesting enough to keep people engaged.

- than accurate --> accuracy in this case refers to providing real, factual details about events.

If a story is more entertaining than it is accurate, that means the speaker or writer is focusing on making it interesting instead of giving a factual and realistic account of what happened. In other words, a traveler may very well exaggerate or make things up for the sake of entertainment, leaving accuracy behind. That is why letter C is the best option.
