The correct answer is B. The groom had to ask the bride’s parents for permission to marry her.

Explanation:

The excerpt from "Perseus" describes some of the actions of the main character Perseus, this includes a description of how he defeated a powerful enemy "he cut its head off just as he had the Gorgon's".

Besides this, the excerpt explains once this occurred Perseus married Andromeda, this event is introduced through the detail "Perseus took Andromeda to her parents and asked for her hand" that shows to marry Andromeda Perseus needed to ask the bride's parents rather than only asking Andromeda. This suggests, in Ancient Greece, the context in which "Perseus" was written, the man had to ask for permission to the bride's parents for marrying their daughter. Thus, in terms of marriage in Ancient Greece, this excerpt reveals "The groom had to ask the bride’s parents for permission to marry her".

the tone of the passage is sympathetic to the forbidden love of romeo and juliet. the nurse plays a significant role in the play. she is responsible for making their meeting again possible. additionally, there is a sense of warning in the choice of words of the nurse. she seems to be authoritative when she calls romeo "scurvy knave", and at the same time the fact that she addresses to him as "sir" reflects respect. the nurse is "vexed", this word describes her confused state of mind. on the one hand, she finds romeo a fine and eloquent man, but on the other, it is thought that man's nature forces men to try to trick women.
