Answer 1

It was when he weeps upon meeting Elpenor's ghost in Hades that Odysseus demonstrates a realistic, human side of his character.
Elpenor is Odysseus's mother whose ghost he saw in Hell and started crying and feeling sad, which is a human emotion to feel. The other options wouldn't normally be possible if a mere human were to do them because god-like powers are necessary for them.
