Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

To understand the prompt, first identify what the bookend of Book 12 signals in Odysseus’s voyage and how the options align with that transition.
Option 1: 'The wedding of Telemachus and Nausicaa.' This event does not occur in the Odyssey’s narrative arc at all, and Telemachus’s marriage is not a feature of the epic in any book, so this choice misplaces a non-existent plot point.
Option 2: 'The coronation of Eurylochus as king of Ithaca.' Eurylochus is a member of Odysseus’s crew and not a rightful ruler of Ithaca; the epic contains no coronation scene for him, making this option historically and narratively inaccurate.
Option 3: 'His eventual return to Ithaca and confrontation with the suitors.' This choice reflects the broader arc implied by the journey’s conclusion: after the long voyage and the trials at sea and away from home, Odysseus’s path moves toward reclaiming his household and dealing with the suitors, setting up the decisive actions at Ithaca.
Option 4: 'A new Trojan War.' The Trojan War has already concluded before the events of the Odyssey, and there is no new war at this juncture; this option contradicts the established timeline and thematic focus on homecoming rather than new large-scale conflict.
In summary, the question centers on what ending a long travel episode sets up, and only option 3 situates the narrative on a direct trajectory toward Odysseus’s return and the central confrontation awaiting him at home, whereas the other options introduce events or ideas that do not align with the text’s sequence or themes.
