What does loathsome mean as it is used in the following lines from Act IV, Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet?
Juliet: Or, if I live, is it not very like
The horrible conceit of death and night,
Together with the terror of this place,--
As in a vault, an ancient receptacle,
Where, for this many hundred years, the bones
Of all my buried ancestors are pack’d;
Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth
Lies festering in his shroud; where, as they say,
At some hours in the night spirits resort;--
Alack, alack, it is not like that I,
So early waking,--what with loathsome smells,
And shrieks like mandrakes torn out of the earth,
That living mortals, hearing them, run mad;What does loathsome mean as it is used in the following lines from Act IV, Scene 3 of Romeo and Juliet?Juliet: Or, if I live, is it not very likeThe horrible conceit of death and night,Together with the terror of this place,--As in a vault, an ancient receptacle,Where, for this many hundred years, the bonesOf all my buried ancestors are pack’d;Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earthLies festering in his shroud; where, as they say,At some hours in the night spirits resort;--Alack, alack, it is not like that I,So early waking,--what with loathsome smells,And shrieks like mandrakes torn out of the earth,That living mortals, hearing them, run mad;(1 point)

What does pestilence mean as it is used in the following lines from Act V, Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet?
Friar John: Going to find a barefoot brother out,
One of our order, to associate me,
Here in this city visiting the sick,
And finding him, the searchers of the town,
Suspecting that we both were in a house
Where the infectious pestilence did reign,
Seal’d up the doors, and would not let us forth;
So that my speed to Mantua there was stay’d.What does pestilence mean as it is used in the following lines from Act V, Scene 2 of Romeo and Juliet?Friar John: Going to find a barefoot brother out,One of our order, to associate me,Here in this city visiting the sick,And finding him, the searchers of the town,Suspecting that we both were in a houseWhere the infectious pestilence did reign,Seal’d up the doors, and would not let us forth;So that my speed to Mantua there was stay’d.(1 point)
