What does this excerpt from act 1 of Romeo and Juliet reveal about the Montague-Capulet feud? ABRAHAM: Do you bite your thumb at

us, sir? SAMPSON: I do bite my thumb, sir. ABRAHAM: Do you bite your thumb at us, sir? SAMPSON: (aside to GREGORY) Is the law of our side, if I say ay? GREGORY: No. SAMPSON: No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir, but I bite my thumb, sir. GREGORY: Do you quarrel, sir? ABRAHAM: Quarrel sir! no, sir. SAMPSON: If you do, sir, I am for you: I serve as good a man as you. ABRAHAM: No better. SAMPSON: Well, sir. GREGORY: Say 'better:' here comes one of my master's kinsmen. SAMPSON: Yes, better, sir. ABRAHAM: You lie. SAMPSON: Draw, if you be men. Gregory, remember thy swashing blow. The servants are more serious about the feud than their masters. The servants of both households use the feud as an excuse to pick fights with each other. The Capulet-Montague feud is petty, foolish, and easily blown out of proportion. The servants don’t take the feud seriously and are disinterested in its outcome. The young noblemen of both houses use the feud as an excuse to pick fights.

Answer:

The Capulet-Montague feud is petty, foolish, and easily blown out of proportion.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju l iet" revolves around the family of the Capulets and the Montaigue who have been feuding for a long time. But despite this family feud, their two young children fell in love, leading to an impossible love affair which ended tragically.

This family feud did not confine itself to just the main family but even to their servants and friends. Such was the extent of the feud that they don't even want to stay within close proximity. This given excerpt from Act I shows how petty the feud is, as both families including the servants easily get flared up and start a fight. This scene in particular show how both sides would foolishly try to engage in a scuffle, whether there is any valid reason or not. And this fight will be easily blown out of proportion, escalating it for no reason.

Which statement best explains how the modern story transforms the ideas of
wariber [46]

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. Shelley compares the recklessness of modern scientific discovery  to the recklessness of Prometheus's desire to obtain the power of  the gods.

Explanation:

 This question has the excerpt missin. Here it is:

<em>In the myth of Prometheus, the titan Prometheus steals the gift of fire from the gods and gives it to humanity. Zeus punishes both humanity and Prometheus. In particular, he chains Prometheus to a rock where an eagle swoops down and eats his liver every day. </em>

<em>In Mary Shelley's novel Frankestein; orm the Modern Prometheus, a driven scientist named Frankestein seeks to understand the secret of life and death. He succeeds in bringing a dead body back to life, but the monster he creates punishes Frankestein for the rest of his days.</em>

<em />

In her story, Shelley compares the discovery of the secret of life and death to Prometheus' desire for the power of the gods.

In both cases whoever performs the acts is punished. Prometeheus by Zeus, and the driven scientist by the monster he creates.
