b. failure at least that one seems the most negative out of all of the answers provided pls correct me if i'm wrong. : ))

can you give me a hint

in my opinion i think it was not excessive at all. the maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? if he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitor's deaths, which is much too risky. as for the suitors, they were selfish, rude, and greedy. the god's had apparently marked them for death, meaning odysseus made their death come faster.

assuming the underlined word is "regnant", the correct answer is b) ruling.
