In what city is The Taming of the Shrew set?

Verona
Vienna
Padua
Venice

The correct answer is: Padua

The Taming of the Shrew is set in the city of Padua, as stated in the play's opening lines. Other options such as Verona, Vienna, and Venice are incorrect as they are not mentioned as the setting in the play. While some of Shakespeare's other plays are set in Verona (such as Romeo and Juliet) and Venice (such as Othello), it is important to pay attention to the specific question being asked. In this case, the focus is on The Taming of the Shrew.
