In the second wooing scene, Bianca discovers what about the two suitors?

• A. Both suitors confess their true identities and love to Bianca without the other knowing
• B. Bianca learns both suitors are in love
• C. Bianca elopes with one of them
• D. Bianca rejects both suitors

Answer: (B)

This moment hinges on Bianca realizing that both men are in love with her, each coming to woo her while in disguise. Lucentio (as Cambio) and Hortensio (as Litio) each declare their love, and Bianca understands that she is the object of affection for both suitors, not that one is simply making a gesture or that a dramatic identity reveal has occurred. She also witnesses the playful rivalry created by their disguises, which foregrounds the theme of appearance versus reality in their courtship. The other options don’t fit because there isn’t a scene where Bianca and both suitors reveal their true identities to each other, nor is there an elopement or a firm rejection in this moment; the scene centers on the two lovers’ declarations and Bianca’s recognition of their mutual feelings.
