Explanation:

The excerpt has Odysseus vividly describing his home island of Ithaca in loving detail, stating "I shall not see on earth a place more dear" even though he is detained by Calypso. This shows he holds his native land in high regard and longs for it, with no mention of ruling, eagerness to leave, or fear for its safety.

Answer:

misses his native land.
