Answer: Odysseus convinces Penelope that he is Odysseus because c) only he would know the secret about the bed.

Explanation: When Odysseus returns to Ithaca disguised as a beggar, Penelope suspects that he is actually Odysseus but she is not completely sure about it. As a result,<u> Penelope tests his identity by asking Eurycleia to move Penelope and Odysseus' wedding bed taking into account that Odysseus knows the secret about the bed</u>. When Odysseus tells her that moving the bed is impossible because the frame was attached to an olive tree within the room, Penelope is finally convinced that he is Odysseus.

C. Only Odysseus would know the secret about the bed.

Odysseus, Penelope and the maid are the only ones who know that the bed cannot be moved because it is built with an olive tree trunk.

3 days late sorry for the delay, your answer for part A is

Humiliation can lead to a loss of control and anguish.

Part B is

“That one? She said, pointing to a row of ugly three-flats, the ones even the raggedy men are ashamed to go into. Yes, I nodded even though I knew that wasn’t my house and started to cry.”

Explanation:

I took this test and got this one wrong because I didn't really think "humilation can lead to a loss of control and anguish"was a good answer to describe one of the themes of House on Mango street. The question is asking what passage fits the theme from the selection Part A individually while I was thinking about the overall theme of the novel. My mistake and I almost picked the right choice too.
