Answer 1

She still hopes for Odyssey's return. So she makes the challenges hard so no man will be able to take his place.

I think that Penelope came up with such a difficult challenge because I think she is scared to move on from Odysseus. Therefore she tries to make them shoot Odysseus' bow and the only that can really shoot it is Odysseus himself.
