Jackson is making predictions about The Odyssey as he reads this excerpt.

“Now 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

Answer:

The correct answer is - let no one hear.

Explanation:

If you read the excerpt, you will see that Odysseus says the following:

If son of mine you are and blood of mine,

let no one hear Odysseus is about.

Here, you can see that Odysseus doesn't want anyone to know he is back in Ithaca. He wants it to be a secret so that he can do away with the suitors who are pestering his wife Penelope. If he doesn't want anyone to see or hear him, it is obvious that he wants to take everyone by surprise.

Odysseus has been away from his home of Ithaca for a decade and everyone but his wife thought he was dead. This is why many suitors come to try and marry his wife and inherit his kingdom. However, Odysseus comes back to his family to reclaim what is rightfully his.
