Question

read the paraphrase. although i was sad to see my mothers dead ghost, i didnt speak with her because i needed to talk to a different ghost. which excerpt from the odyssey - teiresais is this paraphrasing? now came the soul of antikleia, dead, my mother, daughter of autolykos, dead now, though living still when i took ship for holy troy. seeing this ghost i grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till i should know the presence of teiresias. soon from the dark that prince of thebes came forward bearing a golden staff, and he addressed me. great captain, a fair wind and the honey lights of home are all you seek. but anguish lies ahead

Explanation:

The paraphrase mentions seeing the mother's dead ghost and not speaking to her as the speaker needed to talk to another ghost. The second option "Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I should know the presence of Teiresias" also conveys the idea of grieving at seeing a ghost (the mother) and holding off speaking to her to wait for Teiresias.

Answer:

B. Seeing this ghost I grieved, but held her off, through pang on pang of tears, till I should know the presence of Teiresias.
