Pyramus had left a little later than his Thisbe had,
and he could see what surely were the tracks
of a wild beast left clearly on deep dust.
His face grew ashen. And when he had found
the bloodstained shawl, he cried: 'Now this same night
will see two lovers lose their lives.'
—"Pyramus and Thisbe,"
Ovid
Which statement best describes how the order of events heightens tension in this passage?

If the lioness had arrived later, she would have encountered Pyramus rather than Thisbe.
If Pyramus had arrived earlier, he would have seen the lion attack Thisbe.
If Pyramus and Thisbe had arrived at the same time, they would have encountered the lioness together.

serve the people! ,” smoothly translated by julia lovell, offers an initial sample of yan lianke’s writing to an english-speaking audience. a bluntly drawn, mildly erotic fable, it teases mao zedong by poking fun at a true believer who obeys the chairman’s precepts too literally. to a western sensibility, the broad strokes of yan lianke’s humor would seem to pose little risk of inciting rebellion, whether of the flesh or of the body politic. but then, part of the book’s attraction is that it doesn’t have a western sensibility. it lets the reader see — or rather, intuit — what jokes chinese officials don’t consider funny, and how very little it takes for a writer to be branded an incendiary in 21st-century china, more than three decades after the death of mao, a decade after the death of deng xiaoping and seven years since china entered the world trade organization, a move that would seem to signal a willingness (however wary) to mingle with the rest of the world.
