Answer 1

Answer:

b. the Capulet-Montague feud

d. Juliet’s arranged marriage to Paris

Explanation:

In the play Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare, the main plot is focused on the romance between Romeo, from the Montague family, and Juliet, from House Capulet. A subplot of this story is the fight between these two families, which works as the conflicted context for the romance of the young couple. A second subplot is Juliet’s arranged marriage to Count Paris. Since Juliet's family did not know anything about her romance with Romeo, because of the feud between their houses, Juliet's parents arranged a marriage between her and Paris, a rich count. This subplot adds more drama to their innocent romance.
