I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 3. The excerpt from Part 2 of The Odyssey that best establishes Odysseus’s weakness is the line " I wished to see the caveman, what he had to offer-." Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Odysseus's weakness is his pride. It is described in his adventures with Cyclops. When escaping from Cyclops, instead of telling him anything, Odysseus told him his name and put his men in difficult situation. Thus the correct answer is " I wished to see the caveman, what he had to offer" which describes the journey and his pride.
