Question

Fill in the blank using information from the passage:
The character of Nicanor is _______ .

• A. a Roman spying for the Volscians
• B. Adrian's distant cousin
• C. an old enemy of Coriolanus
• D. a mercenary in search of Coriolanus
• E. a sworn enemy of Adrian

Answer 1

The correct option is A a Roman spying for the Volscians

Option A is a correct option as in the conversation clearly mentioned that :

Volsce and Nicanor are pretending to act like that he doesn't know the roman ( Nicanor ) at the very starting of the passage as he said that last I saw you having a beard and they were doing conversation like in a very secretive manner.

further, in the passage it is said that Nicanor was telling all secret things about Rome as any person who belongs to his own country doesn't disclose any information related to his country and in the whole passage, he was disclosing information about Rome.

Lastly, in the conversation Volsce thanked Nicanor for helping in his business and in return he accompanied him to his home.
