Answer:

B. Pyramus arrives at the meeting place before Thisbe returns.

C. Thisbe arrives at the meeting place ahead of Pyramus.

Explanation:

These are the three options that happened by chance that affected the outcome of "Pyramus and Thisbe".

Pyramus and Thisbe is a story about two young Babylonia lovers who fall in love with each other but whose families hate each other so they find a way to talk to each other through the wall and when they can no longer bear it, they decide to elope.

The two lovers agree to meet at the mulberry tree but Thisbe arrives before Pyramus and sees a lioness with a bloodied jaw from a recent kill, she assumes the lioness has killed Pyramus, she screams and runs away from the scene.

Shortly after, Pyramus arrives at the meeting place before Thisbe returns and sees the same lioness with bloodied jaw and assumes Thisbe has been devoured by it. In his grief, he kills himself, but before he dies he sees Thisby and discovers she's still alive. Thisby also kills herself.
