Instructions:Select the correct answer. 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. Which of the following sentences best summarizes the purpose of the excerpt?

Answers

I would say "Now Romeo is beloved and loves again, Alike bewitched 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"
The passage refers to the moment when Romeo first lays eyes on Juliet, and his love for Rosaline withers and dies, and is replaced by his love for Juliet, though she is supposed to be his enemy.

The banning of public performances was the end of English drama. TRUE or FALSE

Answers

The correct answer is false.

It is false that the banning of public performances was the end of English Drama.

In 1642, plays were banned in London, England. Those wear the times of Puritans extremism and radical beliefs in England. Political issues and religious extremisms affected plays in England to the degree of banning public performances. But in no way, this meant the end of English drama.

The restoration of the English monarchy in 1660 brought back things to normality and the plays continued.
