Answer:
To resign is to quit or retire from a position. You can also resign yourself to something inevitable, like death
Explanation:
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.
As you may know, third person will use third person pronouns such as he, she, it, and they. When a story has a narration in the third person, the narrator will be talking about other people. First person narration is when the narrator speaks about himself or herself, and second person narration is when the narrator is speaking directly to the readers or someone in the story, which is indicated by the use of the pronoun “you.” That said, there are two types of third person—third person limited and third person omniscient. Third person limited is when the narrator knows the thoughts of just a single character which is usually the main character. Third person omniscient is when the narrator knows the thoughts of all the characters and pretty much everything about everything--all situations.
