The correct answers are: Odysseus will face his biggest challenge yet.

Odysseus will change even more.

Odysseus will be able to truly go home.

Odysseus goes through many situations such as: The father of Telemachus knows that Odysseus is on the island of Calypso with no means to get home. Poseidon sees Odysseus on his raft and causes him problems.

Odysseus fears that Poseidon will kill him when he approaches the shore. Poseidon is preventing Odysseus from going home. Ino gives Odysseus his scarf to save him. Odysseus must return Ino's gift to the sea once he is safely grounded. Odysseus is at sea twenty days before landing on the island of the Faeacians. Hailtherses predicts that Odysseus after many blows and with all his dead or missing companions will return home unrecognizable. Nausicca, the princess, is the only one who is not terrified by the horrible appearance of Odysseus. After taking a bath Athena makes Odysseus look taller and more massive with beautiful hair. This is an example of divine innervation. Finally Odysseus returns to his house.
