Answer: B. By having Ruth feel pride toward Walter after her initial indifference, the author leaves the reader feeling satisfied with their relationship.

Walter has been a complicated character throughout the play. Unhappy with his financial situation, he is desperate to improve it, at the same time as he is ashamed because of his inability to provide for his family. This leads him to make bad financial decisions that only leave the family in a worse situation. This has also taken a toll on his relationship with Ruth. However, in this scene, we see Walter has changed, and Ruth has noticed. She is extremely proud of him, which implies that their relationship will survive.

Based on excerpt , what is most likely true about ancient greek marriage rituals
Arada [10]

We can infer that based on the excerpt , the most likely truth about ancient Greek marriage rituals is: The groom had to ask the bride’s parents for permission to marry her.

<h3>What is marriage ritual?</h3>

Marriage ritual actually refers to the way or pattern that marriages are conducted. They are seen as an order of marriage set up by men.

Below is the excerpt that completes the question:

Read the excerpt from "Perseus."

He waited beside her until the great snake came for its prey; then he cut its head off just as he had the Gorgon's. The headless body dropped back into the water; Perseus took Andromeda to her parents and asked for her hand, which they gladly gave him.

We see here that the answer is "The groom had to ask the bride’s parents for permission to marry her."
