Rachel is making predictions about The Odyssey as she reads this excerpt. So she described it, sitting in her chamber
among her maids—while her true lord was eating.
Then she called in the forester and said:

“Go to that man on my behalf, Eumaeus,
and send him here, so I can greet and question him.
Abroad in the great world, he may have heard
rumors about Odysseus—may have known him!”

Rachel makes the prediction that Penelope will discover the stranger’s true identity. Which detail best supports her prediction?

he may have heard/ rumors about Odysseus
sitting in her chamber/ among her maids
Then she called in the forester
Abroad in the great world

The correct answer is A. He may have heard/ rumors about Odysseus

Explanation:

In reading, a prediction occurs as the reader uses the details in the text to anticipate what will happen. In the case of the excerpt presented, which describes the actions of Penelope as she wants to meet the stranger who is actually her husband Odysseus, the reader can infer at the end she will discover the truth because details such as "and send him here, so I can greet and question him" or "he may have heard rumors about Odysseus—may have known him" suggests Penelope and Odysseus will finally meet again and it is likely she recognizes him or Odysseus reveals his identity. Thus, the detail from the options that best supports Rachel's prediction is "he may have heard/ rumors about Odysseus."
