Prudence and loyalty, because in the story, Odysseus is disguised as a very old man, (so he can visit his old home without anyone knowing it's him- many drunk men were at his house to ask for the hand of his wife, since they thought Odysseus would never return, and if they would've found out that his wife's husband has returned, the drunk men would've killed Odysseus), and when he enters his old house, his wife tells their maid, (Penelope), to take care and wash up the old man, which she does, but she finds out that the old man is actually Odysseus! He can't have ANYONE knowing, (as explained before), though Penelope senses that his presence is supposed to keep secret, so she doesn't say a word about it. Penelope's actions gives us an insight of her character traits, known as prudence and loyalty. =)

The central idea of the given sonnet is that the speaker thinks that his muse is forgetful and lazy and wastes a lot of time. Thus, the correct option for this question is D.

<h3>What do you mean by Central idea?</h3>

In literature, the central idea may be characterized as the fundamental and united element of the story that significantly tethers together all of the other components of fiction that are utilized by the author in order to convey the story.

Clues that support the definition of Muse as an "inspiration for writing poetry” may include spendest thou thy fury on some worthless song, the ear that doth thy lays esteem, and gives thy pen both skill and argument.

Therefore, the speaker thinks that his muse is forgetful and lazy and wastes a lot of time is a statement that describes the central idea of the given sonnet.

Read the following quote from Gwendolen. "The home seems to me to be the proper sphere for the man. And certainly once a man beg
9966 [12]

The meaning of Gwendolen's words is that she is against the traditional idea that women are the ones who should stay at home to be in charge of the domestic duties. She shows that women might have a position of power and that men can stay at home.

The literary technique used is Paradox because Gwendolen proposes a reversal of the traditional and well-known ideas.
