Telemachus' words in lines 47-50 are best
understood as
(A) a hint that he actually doubts his father's
honesty
(B) an unlikely hypothetical which serves his
rhetorical purpose
(C) a subtle plea for someone in the assembly
to reveal the truth about his father
(D) a reminder to the reader/listener that
Telemachus is still quite young
(E) foreshadowing that Odysseus has indeed
wronged the Achaeans
