Answer:

a. Odysseus wanted to see her reaction.

Explanation:

Homer's epic narrative "The Odyssey" revolves around the journey that Odysseus and his men undertook to get back home to Ithaca. The journey lasted more then two decades after which Odysseus got safely back to his family and home.

In Book XIX we find Odysseus arriving back to Ithaca but disguised as a beggar. His son Telemachus knows him but then the rest of the people doesn't even recognize him, not even his own wife. Later on, he and Penelope talked of his journey and Penelope asked him lots of questions, testing him if he really had been with Odysseus. In return, Odysseus told her that he had been with him, describing him in ways that will make her believe his story. Then, he also told her that her husband is still alive and that he will eventually return. This is his way of testing her whether she had been faithful to him all these years or not, and also to see her reaction to the possibility of his return.

How do the three try to contact boo radley
Lisa [10]

to Kill a Mockingbird,"  Boo Radley, who has been a recluse for the last fifteen years, captures the imagination of the children. In Chapter 5, Jem and Dill attempt to send a message to Boo by tying it to a fishing pole, then casting it toward his window.  However, Atticus catches them and they are forbidden to go to the Radley place without being invited. But, in Chapter 6, on a dare Jem and Dill decide to peep into the Raley's house window.  When a shot rings out, Jem hastens to safety so quickly that he catches his pants upon the fence and must remove them.  Later, he bravely returns for his pants, which Boo has mended.  This episode alters Jem's perception of Boo Radley as the kindness of the bizarre captive of fifteen years touches Jem.

These episodes further the theme of maturation in Harper Lee's novel.  The Radley place affords the children a chance to prove their bravery.  And, when Atticus scolds them, they display character by not talking back to him.  Also, they begin to become concerned with people's feelings who are outside their immediate circle.
