Question

What causes the servant to ask for Romeo’s help? The servant needs directions. The servant cannot see. The servant needs to pray. The servant cannot read.

Answer 1

I believe the answer is the servant cannot read (but it’s been a while since I read Romeo & Juliet)

Answer 2

The servant cannot read.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Act 1, scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet, we encounter the servant Peter. He has been sent by Capulet to invite a number of guests to the masquerade he is hosting. However, Peter cannot read and therefore, has trouble accomplishing his task. He happens to encounter Romeo and Benvolio, and asks them for help. Romeo reads the list and realizes that Rosaline is invited. Wanting to see her, he decides to attend the party as well.
