Question

jackson is making predictions about the odyssey as he reads this excerpt.

ow one thing more.
if son of mine you are and blood of mine,
let no one hear odysseus is about.
neither laertes, nor the swineherd here,
nor any slave, nor even penelope.
but you and i alone must learn how far
the women are corrupted; we should know
how to locate good men among our hands,
the loyal and respectful, and the shirkers
who take you lightly, as alone and young.\
jackson makes the prediction that odysseus and telemachus will take the suitors by surprise. which detail best supports his prediction?
○ take you lightly
○ locate good men
○ let no one hear
○ learn how far

Explanation:

To surprise the suitors, Odysseus and Telemachus need to keep Odysseus's return secret. The detail "let no one hear" directly emphasizes hiding Odysseus's presence, which is critical for executing a surprise attack. Other options focus on identifying allies or assessing disloyalty, but do not directly support the element of surprise.

Answer:

let no one hear
