I need help with the following:

11. Read these lines from the prologue of Romeo and Juliet.

"Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean."

What is the best way to paraphrase these lines?

A. Two ancient feuding Verona families shed more blood.
B. Two families fight over whom pretty Verona shall marry.
C. Two feuding families in Verona have an ancient grudge.
D. Two old families in Verona fight and get themselves dirty.

I believe the answer is C. Is C correct?

14. The mood of the balcony scene in Act II, scene ii of Romeo and Juliet can best be described as

A. unromantic
B. realistic
C. enchanting
D. ordinary

I've been having a hard time with this one for a while now, but I think the answer is C. Is C correct?

Can someone please check my answers? Any help will be greatly appreciated! :)

I agree with both of your answers.

You're welcome. I didn't find your other question.

I was just waiting for you to reply. Anyway, here's the last one that I need checked.

Read this line from the prologue of Romeo and Juliet.
"Is now the two hours’ traffick of our stage;"

Which best paraphrases "two hours’ traffick”?

A. performance
B. opening
C. intermission
D. conclusion

For this one, I am still not sure on, even though my sister and I think the answer is B. Is B correct, Ms. Sue?

I think A is the better answer. The prologue is the beginning and it's introducing the 2-hour performance.

Okay, I understand. I was actually tied between both A and B at first, but my sister said to pick B. That's why I posted it on here to be checked.

So, thank you for checking my answers, that's all that I needed help with for right now. :)

You're very welcome, Brady!
