The paraphrase that contains the central idea of the text is "Odysseus is the son of Laertes and is widely respected for his skills."

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • A paraphrase occurs when a text is rewritten with other words while keeping the meaning of the original text.
  • A central idea, in turn, is what refers to the main subject of the text.
  • For a paraphrase to be effective, the central idea must be presented in the paraphrase.

The passage to which the question refers has as its central idea to show that Odysseus is the son of Laertes and is known for his skills. In this case, we can say that the first answer option is the one with a good paraphrase.
