a.
Romeo overhears Juliet talking about it
b.
Peter cannot read and ask Romeo to help
c.
The nurse tells him
d.
Montague is planning a surprise raid
To determine how Romeo and Benvolio learn about the Capulet party, we can refer to the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare. In Act I, Scene 2 of the play, Romeo and Benvolio receive crucial information about the party. Let's break down the options you provided to find the correct answer:
a. Romeo overhears Juliet talking about it: This option is not correct, as Romeo and Juliet have not yet met or spoken to each other before the party. Juliet is not mentioned in their conversation about the party.
b. Peter cannot read and asks Romeo to help: This option is not correct either. While there is a character named Peter who appears in the play, he does not approach Romeo for assistance with reading.
c. The nurse tells him: This option is correct. In Act I, Scene 2, the Nurse encounters Romeo and Benvolio and, unaware of their Montague affiliation, she directs Romeo to attend the Capulet party. The Nurse's dialogue provides them with the information about the party.
d. Montague is planning a surprise raid: This option is not correct. There is no mention of Montague planning a surprise raid, and it is unrelated to how they learn about the Capulet party.
Therefore, the correct answer is c. The nurse tells him.
