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?

a. i had the happy thought to set up weaving
b. the country wives would hold me in dishonor
c. so every day i wove on the great loom
d. and so for three years i deceived the akhaians
