Step-by-step explanation:

Penelope stalls the suitors for three years by saying that she would marry when she is finished weaving a shroud for Odysseus's family. She would weave during the day and undo her work at night, so she would never finish. NOTE: The burial shroud will be the final act of respect for Odysseus's family.
