I believe the answer is A, I had this same question on a test last year, and I'm pretty sure that's the answer.
Answer:
Haircuts
female education
Haircuts reason: They all have long beards, and they dont look like they cut it at all, and they have the thing on there head (I forgot what there called sorry dont atttack me) to hold there hair up.
female education reason: The reason why is because females back in the day had to cover themself and take care of kids
I say A because it’s explains basically what the story is about or going to be about.
Eumaeus was Odysseus's friend and swineherd, and the first one to receive him when he came back home disguised as a beggar. For Odysseus, it was important to test Eumaeus's loyalty and trustworthiness, so he lied about who he was and where he came from. In return, and even not knowing who this man was, Eumaeus's treated Odysseus kindly and with respect.
