Mercutio says to Benvolio

"... thou wilt quarrel with a man that hath a hair more, or a hair less, in his beard, than thou hast: thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking nuts, having no other reason but because thou hast hazel eyes: what eye but such an eye would spy out such a quarrel?"

 Here, Mercutio exaggerates Benvolio's quick temper. 
OR

In Act 3, Scene 5, "It is the lark that sings so out of tune, straining harsh discords and unpleasing sharps. Some say the lark makes sweet division; this doth not so, for she divideth us."

Here, she exaggerates by saying that the lark (known for its beautiful song) sounds harsh and unpleasing, because it means that Romeo must leave her.

ILL GIVE BRAINLY!Read the sentence.

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.

Explanation:

Firstly, let's see if all the revised sentences make grammatical sense.

1. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, and then they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence one is grammatically correct as it uses and to connect the two clauses.

2. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; bought a pumpkin.

Sentence two is not grammatically correct as it has an unnecessary semi-colon with a dependent clause.

3. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze, they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence three does not use and to join the two clauses.

4. The visitors to the farm walked through the corn maze; and then they bought a pumpkin.

Sentence four like sentence two uses an unnecessary semi-colon that does not follow the semi-colon rule.

A semi colon should be used to join two independent clauses or to replace (and, or, but,etc)

Hope it isn't confusing, and it helped! :))

Damm [24]

Answer:

Puerto Rico was Spanish (Europe) who used African slaves.

Explanation:

Food (as well as music) is a perfect analogy to describe the colonial history of any Latin American country. The food of Puerto Rico, like it´s music, will show the Spanish and the African influence on the traditional cuisine of Puerto Rico.

Note: when we think of Salsa music we say Cuba, but Puerto Rican musicians have played a tremendous important role in the devtelopment of salsa music, as anyone in the New York music scene could confirm.
