Which quotation supports the point that the crew respects odysseus and follows his orders? “they tied me up, then, plumb / amidships, back to the mast, lashed to the mast, / and took themselves again to rowing.” “soon, / as we came smartly within hailing distance, / the two sirens, noting our fast ship / off their point, made ready, and they sang” “this way, oh turn your bows, / achaea’s glory, / as all the world allows– / moor and be merry.”

I believe that the correct quotation among the choices which best describes loyalty of his crew is:

“They tied me up, then, plumb / amidships, back to the mast, lashed to the mast, / and took themselves again to rowing.”
