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

• A. They reveal their true identities to Bianca while the other is unaware
• B. They duel for Bianca's hand
• C. They leave town together
• D. They vow to marry someone else

Answer: (A)

The scene tests how disguise and recognition shape the comedy. In the second wooing, Bianca has been interacting with two suitors who are secretly in disguise—Lucentio as Cambio and Hortensio as Litio. The moment hinges on unmasking: both men reveal their true identities to Bianca, while the other is still under his disguise or remains unaware of the reversal at that moment. This unmasking underscores the play’s irony of appearances versus reality and moves the Bianca plot forward toward clear, open pursuit of the real identities behind the disguises. The other options don’t fit because the scene isn’t about a duel, nor about leaving town together, nor about vows to marry someone else.
