Answer 1

2. verbal irony

Verbal irony is when a person says something but means the opposite. In this scene Juliet says "I love him" but she is not referring to Paris. She's answering Paris' question about confessing her love for Paris to Friar Laurence. However, she actually is saying that she loves Friar Laurence to get out of lying about her love for Paris. It's not a romantic love of course since she's married to Romeo, whom she also loves.

3. False

Shakespeare uses comedy in many of his plays. The nurse and Mercutio both offer some comedic relief in this Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet.

4. C. Personification

Personification is giving non human things human-like traits. In this scene, Juliet says, "the tears have got small Victory". This personifies the tears as having the human trait of being victorious.

5. A. Simile

A simile is a comparison between two things using like or as. In this line, Juliet's appearance after taking the potion is compared to death.

6. B. He is in exile in Mantua.

Romeo has left for Mantua during Act IV. Juliet's desperate actions during the Act are because of her father's insistence that she marry Paris immediately.

7. A. Failure

Sullen has a negative connotation. The only answer choice with a negative connotation is failure.

8. A funeral song

A dirge is a funeral song, or at least one that is extremely sad.
