Read this excerpt from the prologue to act II of Romeo and Juliet:CHORUS: Now old desire doth in his death-bed lie,
And young affection gapes to be his heir;
That fair for which love groan'd for and would die,
With tender Juliet match'd, is now not fair.
Now Romeo is beloved and loves again,
Alike betwitched by the charm of looks,
But to his foe supposed he must complain,
And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks:
Being held a foe, he may not have access
To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear;
And she as much in love, her means much less
To meet her new-beloved any where:
But passion lends them power, time means, to meet
Tempering extremities with extreme sweet.

It foreshadows the death of the lovers in the next section of the play.

Answer 1

Answer:

It explains that Romeo and Juliet will face many obstacles because of their families’ hatred. This is the correct answer.

Romeo and Juliet have fallen in love with each other. The hatred bewteen their families will cause them many problems. Romeo and Juliet are aware of this and they know they cannot behave as ordinary lovers.However, they will wait for the right moment to meet. In the meantime, many things will stop them from meeting.

These options are not right:

-It tells the audience exactly what will happen at the end of the play ( The excerpt says nothing about the tragic ending where both die).

-It reveals the conflicting feelings Romeo has for Juliet and his family ( Romeo loves Juliet. This is not a conflicting feeling. He loves her in spite of the conflicts his family and her family have).

-It foreshadows the death of the lovers in the next section of the play ( They will not die in this part of the play. It tells that their encounter will be difficult).

The children are told that the family is going to the beach in the __________. climax falling action exposition resolution

Answers

Exposition

If this is the story I think it is, the children are told they are going to the beach in the exposition. However, the way they are dressed and how they prepare for the beach is not the way a typical family would dress for swimming and playing in the sand. It begins to set up the conflict and struggles of the family. The exposition is the beginning of the story where the setting, main characters, and main conflict is introduced. The climax is the point of no return, where the main character often has to make a difficult decision. No matter what the protagonist chooses, he or she will never be the same again. The falling action are the results of the decision and loose ends being tied up. The resolution is the end of the story. The main conflict is resolved and the protagonist often understands how he or she has changed from the events of the story.
