What does semblance mean as it is used in the following lines from Act I, Scene 5 of Romeo and Juliet?

Capulet: Content thee, gentle coz, let him alone,
He bears him like a portly gentleman;
And, to say truth, Verona brags of him
To be a virtuous and well-govern'd youth:
I would not for all the town
Here in my house do him disparagement:
Therefore be patient, take no note of him,--
It is my will; the which if thou respect,
Show a fair presence and put off these frowns,
An ill-beseeming semblance for a feast.

a. appearance***
b. dishonor
c. motive
d. reason

You are correct... Great job!

The word "semblance" in this context means appearance. In these lines, Capulet is advising his cousin to ignore Romeo's presence and not show any negative expressions or frowns, as it wouldn't be appropriate for a feast. Capulet wants his cousin to maintain a pleasant and positive appearance. Therefore, the correct answer is (a) appearance.
