Read the passage from The Odyssey - Penelope. Ruses serve my turn to draw the time out—first a close-grained web I had the happy

thought to set up weaving on my big loom in the hall. I said, that day: 'Young men—my suitors, now my lord is dead let me finish my weaving before I marry, or else my thread will have been spun in vain. It is a shroud I weave for Lord Laertes when cold Death comes to lay him on his bier. The country wives would hold me in dishonor if he, with all his fortune, lay unshrouded.' I reached their hearts that way, and they agreed. So every day I wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight I unwove it; and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians. Which line from the passage best shows that Penelope is clever? I had the happy thought to set up weaving The country wives would hold me in dishonor So every day I wove on the great loom and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians

<span>and so for three years I deceived the Akhaians

This sentence shows that Penelope is clever, because her ruse, her plan to delay the suitors, worked for three years. The idea to weave by day and unweave by night was a good one, but it only is clever if it actually works, which we know it does by this sentence.</span>
