Answer:

See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Telemachus is incredulous when Odysseus reveals his plan to defeat the suitors. He doesn't believe that just he and his father can topple the suitors, which are 100 noblemen from the country. Odysseus promises that the gods will help out, but Telemachus is still doubtful, Finally, however, he put faith in his father after being assured that the suitors can be defeated.

I'm always happy to help :)

At first, Telemachus doesn't believe it is possible that he and his father can defeat the suitors, who number more than a hundred best and strongest men from the country. Finally, he gets reassured by his father and puts faith in his words, agreeing to play the part in the plot against the suitors.
