Read the excerpt from Act I, scene i of Romeo and Juliet.

Benvolio: Here were the servants of your adversary

And yours close fighting ere I did approach:

I drew to part them; in the instant came

The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepar'd,

95

Which, as he breath'd defiance to my ears,

He swung about his head, and cut the winds,

Who, nothing hurt withal hiss'd him in scorn.

According to Benvolio who started the fight?

a) the servants of both houses

b) the Capulet servants and Tybalt

c) the Montagues and Benvolio

d) the people of Verona
