Odysseus told Penelope that because when Telemachus was able to grow facial hair it meant that he was becoming a man and that many years had passed, meaning he probably was dead. As for the disguise part, I suppose it was because beards cover a large portion of the face and make you look tougher, more masculine, and gruff.<span />
<span>Squire
With him there was his son, a youthful squire,
A lover and a lusty bachelor,
With locks well curled, as if they'd laid in press.
Some twenty years of age he was, I guess.
In stature he was of an average length,
Wondrously active, aye, and great of strength.
He'd ridden sometime with the cavalry
In Flanders, in Artois, and Picardy,
And borne him well within that little space
In hope to win thereby his lady's grace.
Prinked out he was, as if he were a mead,
All full of fresh-cut flowers white and red.
Singing he was, or fluting, all the day;
He was as fresh as is the month of May.
Short was his gown, with sleeves both long and wide.
Well could be sit on horse, and fairly ride.
He could make songs and words thereto indite,
Joust, and dance too, as well as sketch and write.
So hot he loved that, while night told her tale,
He slept no more than does a nightingale.
Courteous he, and humble, willing and able,
And carved before his father at the table.</span>

Explanation:
You haven't provided the complete question, but I found a similar one online. I assume that your task is to correct punctuation, especially quotation marks.
Quotation marks are used in direct speech - when you want to relay someone's words in the exact way they were spoken. Quoted words will be framed by quotation marks. In this case, the reporting clause (the part that doesn't contain quoted words) will be separated from quoted words by a comma. Commas and periods are always included inside the quotation marks, as you can see in the Answer section.
