If the beggar could string the bow, the end result could have been?

Penelope would marry him as a reward.
Telemachus would give him his father's weapon as a reward.
Penelope would not marry him, but he would be able to live in the palace.
Telemachus would give his claim to the throne to the beggar.

Books 21-22 in the Odyssey.

I believe your answer would be A.) Penelope would marry him as a reward

This test was implemented to see which suitor would become her wife, yet none could string it. When Odysseus, disguised as a beggar, asked to try, the suitors mocked him. Yet, Penelope let him try.

Hope this helps!
