The excerpt that best highlights Odysseus's weakness is option 3: "I wished to see the caveman, what he had to offer—." This line shows his curiosity, which often leads him into dangerous situations, revealing a flaw in his character that contrasts with his heroic traits. It underscores how his thirst for knowledge can expose vulnerabilities in his leadership and decision-making.
