Answer 1

Answer:

Correct answer is E. The beggar describes Odysseus to Penelope, and she is moved to tears by his description.

Explanation:

When the suitors retire for the night, Telemachus and Odysseus take advantage of the situation and hide all the weapons. Just as they finish hiding the suitors' weapons, Penelope comes to meet Odysseus, who is still disguised as a beggar. She asks him to describe her husband. When he describes himself in detail, it brings tears to her eyes. (plato edmentum)
