Six benches were left empty in every ship that evening when we pulled away from death.

And this new grief we bore with us to sea:

our precious lives we had, but not our friends.

–The Odyssey,

Homer

Which is the most effective paraphrase of the passage?

A.) Six men from every ship were killed, leaving six empty benches.

B.) We escaped with our lives, but many of our friends did not, which made us very sad.

C.) There was no point grieving for our lost friends, so we pulled away from shore.

D.) We had the additional burden of our grief when we sailed away.

B.) We escaped with our lives, but many of our friends did not, which made us very sad.

-:- C.) There was no point grieving for our lost friends, so we pulled away from shore.

i believe the answer is: b. mr. head had a long, tube-like face with a rounded open jaw and a short depressed nose.

this is because in the un-revised sentence it said that mr. heads face was long and tube-like, and he had a rounded open jaw. this is not a very grammatically correct because of how it seems to drag on with the and, replaced with, with, makes it sound more fluent in the description.
