Answer:

The answer is letter A, Prose indicates that the Nurse is of lower social rank than Juliet.

Explanation:

When it comes to Shakespeare's characters in his story, it is evident that his characters speak in different language techniques.

It is common for high-class characters to speak in verse style and for low-class characters to speak in prose style.<em> </em>This allows the audience to distinguish the social classes.

<em>"Blank verse</em><em>"</em> is a kind of poetry that has unrhymed lines. This is the language style of Juliet and it tells much about her social status, being a daughter of a noble family. On the contrary the Nurse replies in alternate blank verse and prose because she tries to speak in the formal language of superior people, but cannot achieve it.

A "prose" is a common language style used by ordinary people. It doesn't have a rhyme or a metric scheme.

What is figurative language?
Olenka [21]
Figurative language is a language that uses words or expressions with a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. Figurative language is when you use a word or phrase that does not have its normal everyday, literal meaning. Writers can use figurative language to make their work more interesting or more dramatic than literal language which simply states facts.

phonCommunication which is indirect because most of the meaning is internalized in a person is known as _____ communication
Lisa [10]

Answer:

High-context.

Explanation:

'High-Context' communicative cultures heavily rely on contextual or implicit meanings(through gestures, body language, context) in the communication that needs to be inferred by the listeners which is direct in contrast to the low-context communication cultures where the information is verbally or explicitly stated as the people(communicators) lack knowledge.

As per the question, 'high-context' communication would be characterized as indirect or implicit as plenty of meaning or information is internalized that requires prior knowledge to infer the message suggested or implied. Therefore, they lay more emphasis on gestures instead of direct verbal communication of the message. Thus, <u>'high-context'</u> is the answer.
