Answer: A. Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,

Having some business, do entreat her eyes

To twinkle in their spheres till they return."

B. Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes

Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him."

C. It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!

D. As glorious to this night" as is "a winged messenger of heaven."

E. Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,

Who is already sick and pale with grief

That thou her maid art far more fair than she.

F. O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night

Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear …”

Explanation: Imagery uses objects, actions, ideas etc. in a figurative manner to appeal to our senses. A whole bunch of imagery was employed in the play Romeo and Juliet by Shakespeare ranging from love to light (the contrasting images of light and dark portrays Juliet’s beauty)

, to jealousy etc...

Some examples are given below:

A) "Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,

Having some business, do entreat her eyes

To twinkle in their spheres till they return."

— Here, he spoke on the radiance of Juliet's eyes enough that they could take the place of two actual stars.

B) "Unto the white-upturned wondering eyes

Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him."

— Here, she is an angel in the heavens who humans look upon with awestruck eyes.

C) "It is the East, and Juliet is the sun!"

— Imagery of the sun is used exaggerate Juliet’s beauty.

D)"Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,

Who is already sick and pale with grief

That thou her maid art far more fair than she."

— Romeo loves her so much that he describes how jealous the moon becomes of her when she rises as the sun

E) “O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!

It seems she hangs upon the cheek of night

Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope’s ear …”

— He hails Juliet, that she appears more radiant than brightly lit torches in the hall; that at night her face glows like a bright jewel shining against the dark skin of an African.

F) "As glorious to this night" as is "a winged messenger of heaven."

— Again, as earlier, Juliet is compared to an angel.

And many more
