D.To support a claim

Explanation:

Evidence is a way that you have to show that your claim is not a mere opinion. Supporting a claim with facts makes your claim valid, carrying way much more weight than a claim without any evidence. Also, it helps people to accept your claim when it would otherwise be considered hard to believe or just silliness.

hospitality is mentioned many times in odysseus. it is known as xenia in the poem. one notable example is.

here is a poor man come, a wanderer,

driven by want to beg his bread, and everyone

in hall gave bits, to cram his bag—only

antinous threw a stool, and banged his shoulder

the lines show odysseus disguised as a beggar and shares his bread with another beggar in a weird way because he had to defeat him in order to eat. however, odysseus does not kill the old man and even shows his hospitality.

explanation:

have a great day!
