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.

Explanation:

A couple differences between today and the time of Romeo and Juliet, would be age. Romeo was most likely much older than Juliet. Also in the Renaissance, loyalty was VERY important to them. (Something they kept from the middle age when people lived on lords manors) The loyalty of the Capulet and Montague was a huge thing...Use the example of Juliet's monologue when she says "a rose called by any name would smell as sweet, as would romeo were he not romeo called."
