Question

read the passage from the odyssey - penelope. ruses serve my turn to draw the time out—first a close-grained web i had the happy thought to set up weaving on my big loom in the hall. i said, that day: 'young men—my suitors, now my lord is dead let me finish my weaving before i marry, or else my thread will have been spun in vain. it is a shroud i weave for lord laertes when cold death comes to lay him on his bier. the country wives would hold me in dishonor if he, with all his fortune, lay unshrouded.' i reached their hearts that way, and they agreed. so every day i wove on the great loom, but every night by torchlight i unwove it; and so for three years i deceived the akhaians. which line from the passage best shows that penelope is clever? -i had the happy thought to set up weaving -the country wives would hold me in dishonor -so every day i wove on the great loom -and so for three years i deceived the akhaians
