Which disguise does Lucentio use to pursue Bianca?

• A. A priest
• B. A courier
• C. A cloaked scholar
• D. A schoolmaster

Answer: (D)

Disguise as a social role to pursue Bianca is the driving tactic here. Lucentio chooses to present himself as a schoolmaster named Cambio, positioned as Bianca’s tutor and Latin teacher. This guise lets him spend time with her under the respectable pretense of education, giving him opportunities to speak with her privately and woo her while her father and would-be suitors believe he’s there to teach. The other options don’t fit the plot: a priest would imply a religious angle that isn’t how this romance unfolds, a courier wouldn’t place him in Bianca’s presence to court her, and while a cloaked scholar suggests study, the play specifically names him as a schoolmaster, Cambio.
