Answer 2

C. A woman wants to avoid an arranged marriage. The poor man who loves her disguises himself as a wealthy prince. Once they are wed, they reveal the truth.

Step-by-step explanation:

This story line shows the narrator is traditional because he has chosen a linear succession of events: these are linked by cause and effect. First, there is a woman who does not want her marriage to be arranged. Then, this makes the man, who is in love with her, do something to marry her. As a consequence, they manage to get married. Finally, they disclose their secret.
