Which statement describes the news Gremio brings Hortensio about Bianca's suitors?

• A. He found a school master for Bianca
• B. He has secured a wealthy suitor for Bianca
• C. Bianca is ill
• D. Hortensio's wealth is insufficient

Answer: (A)

This item tests your grasp of how Bianca’s suitors pursue her through disguise and arranged roles. Gremio’s news that he has found a schoolmaster for Bianca signals a key move in their plan: Bianca is to be tutored, and that tutor becomes a vehicle for courting her. In the story, that tutor is Lucentio, who disguises himself as a schoolmaster named Cambio to get close to Bianca. So saying he found a schoolmaster is the accurate report of what’s happening with Bianca’s suitors at that moment. The other options don’t fit what is being described: there’s no mention of a wealthy suitor, Bianca’s illness, or Hortensio’s wealth in this news.
