Answer:

She claimed that she would choose a husband as soon as the shroud was completed. By day, the queen, a renowned weaver, worked on a great loom in the royal halls. At night, she secretly unraveled what she had done, amazingly deceiving the young suitors. Her ploy failed only when one of her servants eventually betrayed her and told the suitors what was happening.

The contest of the bow and axes is another example of Penelope's guile; it also illustrates her wry sense of destiny. After Odysseus returns to Ithaca, the queen announces first to the visiting beggar, whom she suspects to be Odysseus, that she will hold a contest in which the suitors will be asked to string the great bow of Odysseus and shoot an arrow through a dozen axes, an old trick of her husband's, and that she will be the wife of the man who can perform the feat. The choice of this particular contest is no coincidence; Penelope knows exactly what she is doing. If the old beggar really is Odysseus in disguise, he alone has any realistic chance of winning the contest.

hope it help:)

compound sentence = a sentence with more than one subject or predicate.

simple sentence=
a sentence consisting of only one clause, with a single subject and predicate.

What is a major difference between modern audience and audiences during shakespear time
myrzilka [38]
During Shakespeare time which was in the 16th century aka 1500’s was that there was a “social class” type of audience sequence where the queen would sit in the “best seat” so everyone could see her. There would be a gentleman’s room only for men to have a good view. The normal or more underclass people would sit on the floor leaning against the stage. Basically everything depended on your royalty in some type of way. Modern day today it all depends on how much your ticket cost to see where you sit
