Huxley is commenting that most people in society prefer to live in "happy ignorance" as opposed to having knowledge. The stars, or truth, are "depressing."

This is because that many find the truth upsetting and would prefer to live in the dark. Huxley is saying that for many, ignorance is bliss.

Answer:

The option which best paraphrases Romeo's lines is:

A. Your love and concern are making me feel even worse.

Explanation:

The most important part to better answer this question is the line: "Doth add more grief to too much of mine own."

According to it, Romeo already has grief, he is already sad. However, something is adding to that grief, which means something is making him feel even worse. That is seen right before "this love that thou has shown." Thus, he is accusing someone's love of making him feel worse. For that reason, the best option is letter A.

"Romeo and Juliet" is a famous tragic play by William Shakespeare. The main characters fall in love in spite of the enmity between their families, but end up tragically dead.
