Read the following excerpt from Romeo and Juliet. In a response of four to six sentences, identify the cultural practices and la

nguage that illustrate the play’s historical context. How does the historical context depicted in this excerpt compare with our world today? Use proper spelling and grammar.
LADY CAPULET
The valiant Paris seeks you for his love.

NURSE
A man, young lady! lady, such a man
As all the world—why, he's a man of wax.

LADY CAPULET
Verona's summer hath not such a flower.

NURSE
Nay, he's a flower; in faith, a very flower.

LADY CAPULET
What say you? can you love the gentleman?
This night you shall behold him at our feast;
Read o'er the volume of young Paris' face,
And find delight writ there with beauty's pen;
Examine every married lineament,
And see how one another lends content
And what obscured in this fair volume lies
Find written in the margent of his eyes.
This precious book of love, this unbound lover,
To beautify him, only lacks a cover:
The fish lives in the sea, and 'tis much pride
For fair without the fair within to hide:
That book in many's eyes doth share the glory,
That in gold clasps locks in the golden story;
So shall you share all that he doth possess,
By having him, making yourself no less.

First, the characters titles/names indicate the time period (historical context). 'Lady' and 'Nurse' tell readers when the story is taking place. While this would fall under language evidence for the historical context, this could also fall under cultural practices because it was a cultural practice in that time period to address people with titles such as these.

Second, little things such as wording point out the historical context. "Nay," "hath," "doth," and many others make it clear that this story is definitely in a different era, a historical one.

<span>The historical context depicted in this excerpt is quite different from our world today. Instead of, 'Lady,' we use the term 'Mrs/Ms/Miss.' We do not typically have Nurses/Governesses, rather we call them teachers and they play similar yet different roles in our society. We do not usually use words such as, "Nay," "hath," "doth." Rather, "no, have/has, or do/does." </span>

The environment is the sum of all conditions and elements that make up the surroundings.

Answer:

Compound sentence

Explanation:

A sentence can be defined as a group of words that comprises of both a subject and predicate used to convey a logical information. Sentences are classified into four (4) main categories and these includes;

I. Simple sentence.

II. Compound sentence.

III. Complex sentence.

IV. Compound-Complex sentence.

A compound sentence can be defined as a type of sentence that comprises a minimum of two independent clause which are joined together by a coordinating conjunction or semicolon. Thus, a compound sentence is made up of independent clauses having related ideas.

A coordinating conjunction can be defined as a word that is used for joining two words, phrases or sentences having similar grammatical rank and are syntactically equal.

An independent clause can be defined as a clause that expresses a complete thought while standing alone as a simple (complete) sentence and comprises at least a subject and a verb (predicate).

On a related note, each half of a compound sentence must be able to stand alone as a simple (complete) sentence. Thus, a compound sentence doesn't contain any dependent clauses.

"<em>The environment is the sum of all conditions</em> and <em>elements that make up the surroundings.</em>"

Hence, the above sentence is an example of a compound sentence.

kobusy [5.1K]

Answer:

The other discussion participant is very bland and open-ended with how she answers. She is not involved at all in the conversation and is just answering with simple answers to make it seem like she actually knows what she is talking about. This causes the conversation to be one-sided.
