Answer 1

Answer: The detail that best supports his prediction is C. let no one hear.

Explanation: Jackson's prediction about The Odyssey is that Odysseus and his son Telemachus are going to surprise Penelope's suitors in order to take revenge on them. The detail in the passage that best supports this prediction is "let no one hear" as this phrase indicates that father and son have to be stealthy and keep the secret to avoid the suitors to get ready for Odysseus and Telemachus' plan.
