Read the following passage from the Odyssey:

Square in your ship’s path are Sirens, crying beauty to bewitch men coasting by; woe to the innocent who hears that sound! He will not see his lady nor his children in joy, crowding about him, home from sea; the Sirens will sing his mind away on their sweet meadow lolling. There are bones of dead men rotting in a pile beside them and flayed skins shrivel around the spot.
From this passage, the reader is most likely to determine that Circe is

A.advising Odysseus to visit the Sirens.
B.praising the beauty of the Sirens.
C.warning Odysseus about the Sirens.
D. insulting the Sirens’ voices.

my best answer is C is that correct

C is correct, yes.

Yes, you are correct. From this passage, it can be determined that Circe is warning Odysseus about the Sirens. The passage describes the Sirens as luring men with their beauty and singing, but warns that those who hear their sound will have their minds taken away and suffer a tragic fate. Therefore, the correct answer is C.

Yes, your answer is correct. From this passage, it can be inferred that Circe is warning Odysseus about the Sirens. The passage describes the Sirens as luring men with their beauty and singing, causing them to lose their senses and abandon their responsibilities, such as seeing their loved ones. The mention of dead men's bones and flayed skins implies that those who have fallen prey to the Sirens' enchantment have met a gruesome fate. Therefore, Circe's words serve as a warning to Odysseus to avoid the Sirens' enticing call.

D is suppose to say insulting the sirens voices
