Read the two passages, and then answer the questions that follow. | What is revealed by the phrase “they had no confidant” in Ovid’s poem? | How does Romeo and Juliet’s situation differ from Pyramus and Thisbe’s in regard to “confidants”?

Answer
A
The couple could not trust each other.
B
The couple had many friends.
C
The couple had no one to help them.

Explanation

“They had no confidant” means Pyramus and Thisbe had no trusted person to turn to for help. Romeo and Juliet’s situation was different: they did have confidants, including the Nurse and Friar Laurence. So the phrase reveals that Pyramus and Thisbe had no one to help them.
