Question

Read the excerpt from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe". Lest each lose the other as they wandered separately across the open fields, they were to meet at Ninus' tomb and hide beneath a tree in darkness; for beside that tomb there stood a tall mulberry close to a cool spring, a tree well weighted down with snow-white berries. What story element is developed in the excerpt? the characters’ motivations the setting of the meeting place a theme of youthful passion a plot complication

Answer 1

The correct answer is B. The setting of the meeting place

Explanation:

The excerpt from "Pyramus and Thisbe" describes the place where the two main characters Pyramus and Thisbe will meet. This includes details such as "at Ninus' tomb and hide beneath a tree in darkness" that describes the specific spot for the meaning, and others such as "tall mulberry close to a cool spring" that provide more specific details. According to this, the element developed in this section is the setting that refers to the place or context where actions take place; also, in this case, the setting is the meeting place of the characters.
