In the second wooing scene, what do the suitors do?

• A. Bianca marries someone else
• B. One discards his suit
• C. Bianca refuses them
• D. Both suitors confess their true identities and love without the other knowing

Answer: (C)

Bianca refuses them. In the second wooing, the two would-be suitors—one in disguise as a music tutor and the other as a different disguise—press their suit, but Bianca rebuffs both advances, making clear she won’t commit to marriage on their terms. This moment shows her wit and resolve, and keeps her options open rather than settling, which fits the play’s comic structure of disguise and delayed marriage. The other options don’t fit the scene: no marriage occurs yet, neither suitor gives up his pursuit, and there isn’t a scene where they publicly reveal their true identities and declare love.
