Answer:
For your information, a diverse range of underwater species thrives in this habitat.
Explanation:
Prepositional phrases are those that assume the role of an adjective or adverb in a sentence in order to characterize or modify other words in that sentence. This type of sentence always starts with a preposition followed by an object, as is the case with the sentence: "For your information, a diverse range of underwater species thrives in this habitat."
To provide comic relief is the correct choice. In these lines, what is basically happening is that old men are just itching to fight one another. Lady Capulet is the only one who seemingly acknowledges the fact that both of the heads of the houses are too old to fight with swords, and jokingly points out that "a sword? what you need is a crutch."
If you have read the entire play, this does not foreshadow the terrible tragedy of the fall of Romeo and Juliet. This is about Capulet and Montague, and neither end up dying or fighting each other with swords by the end of the play. This also does not tell you anything about the setting of the story, and from these lines, I would not even realize that they were simply at a party. This also does not help build much suspense, even though this looks like an acceptable answer because it is not building up to anything. Lady Capulet immediately shoots down his idea to fight Montague with his sword, and they never end up physically fighting later on.
I think the answer would be A. Her fear of being thought anti-revolutionary. At this time, being anti-revolutionary could get someone moved out of the country, and since Niu Fen was a loud-mouth, she could be able to tell someone about it. Especially since it reads, "<span>I don't know whether Niu Fen reported Wenli to the school leaders." </span>
