Jackson is making predictions about The Odyssey as he reads this excerpt.

"Now one thing more.

If son of mine you are and blood of mine,

let no one hear Odysseus is about.

Neither Laertes, nor the swineherd here,

nor any slave, nor even Penelope.

But you and I alone must learn how far

the women are corrupted; we should know

how to locate good men among our hands,

the loyal and respectful, and the shirkers

who take you lightly, as alone and young."

1. take you lightly

2. locate good men

The detail that best supports Jackson's prediction that Odysseus and Telemachus will take the suitors by surprise is 3. let no one hear. If no one hears about their plan, then they will be surprised when they see what these two guys have in store for them. They will keep this plan a secret until it is the right time to execute it and reveal to everyone what they have been planning all along. The other options don't really make much sense.
