Answer:
-According to the Oedipus myth, King Laius and Queen Jocosta are Oedipus's real parents
Explanation:
It is said that Oedipus is to kill his father and marry his mother. When Oedipus killed King Lauis, he married his wife. Jocasta. Hope it helps :) sorry the explanation was so brief it’s been awhile since I fully read Oedipus Rex
I would say the answer would most likely be “prefer”. It makes the most sense and fits well with the sentence.
