The correct answer is D) Only Shakespeare shows a character warning against a doomed relationship.
<em>The statement that best describes the difference between these excerpts is: Only Shakespeare shows a character warning against a doomed relationship.
</em>
The text refers to an excerpt of Ovid’s Pyramus and Thisbe and Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet”. William Shakespeare is the one who shows a character warning because the relationship between both characters is doomed. That is why Benvolio says to Romeo, “Ruled by me, forget to think of her.” Then Romeo answers, “Oh, teach me how I should forget to think. And Benvolio answers him back, “By giving liberty unto thine eyes. Examine other beauties.”
Thisbe and Pyramus are characters of the novel “Ovid’s Metamorphoses.” They are lovers. Romeo and Juliet are lovers in William Shakespeare’s play with the same name.

Alternative D carries all the required parameters and is the correct answers. The connection between the sentences is one of cause and effect, and <em>she </em>and <em>Lupita </em>refer to the same person.
