Answer:

Third option: They are afraid of offending the royal audience.

Explanation:

The question is about Scene ii of Act i from the play "Midsummer Night’s Dream" written by William Shakespeare.

The laborers in Scene ii of Act i of this play plan to perform a play on the grand celebration preceding the wedding of Theseus and Hippolyta. They decide to perform the play "The Most Lamentable Comedy and Most Cruel Death of Pyramus and Thisbe". Apart from many other issues, they also consider that the lion in the play (which appears before Thisbe) may frighten the noble ladies, and the royal guests may be offended because of this.

The first and fourth options are incorrect because there is nothing such mentioned in the scene. Second option is incorrect because it was Snug (comically enough, he had to play the role of lion) who feared that he might not be able to learn his lines.

Read the excerpt from Robert Frost's poem "Mending Wall." He only says, "Good fences make good neighbours." Spring is the mischi

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

"Grasped" shows the neighbor's primitive qualities; he is like an "old-stone savage armed" because he cannot conceive (or grasp, here used ironically) of thinking beyond what his father taught him: that fences make good neighbors. So, grasp really is both ironic (he can grasp the rock, but not the idea that maybe a fence isn't necessary here) and showing the primitive grasping of the rock as if it were a weapon.
