I do not know if this is a multiple choice question or not, but I would argue that the answer is "jest," since this dialogue, and the scene it belongs to, are very comical. Mercutio and Romeo, who has just arrived, are joking with each other. Romeo challenges his friend to keep going, since he thinks that Mercutio is better at telling jokes ("[...] wast not here for the goose"), and Mercutio replies by saying that he will bite Romeo's ear, as if he was a goose, and when Romeo begs him not to bite him, Mercutio compares Romeo's jokes and humor with bitter and spicy flavors. Therefore, the word "jest" illustrates for and helps the reader understand the comical and hilarious mood of the passage.

Write a story which ends it's better late than never

Explanation:

this story is about it's better late than never

Once in a year his sons and daughter would come to pay a visit to him but for the rest of the year his only source of communication was the letters. sometimes he would go to the post master of the village to read the letters for him because he did not know to read and write. The postmaster always used to help the old man reading and writing the letters for him. You may also read: God help those who help themselves

But unfortunately that post master died and a young postmaster got appointed. That young postmaster was a rude person who did not want to help the man. Slowly his way of communication with his children got cut off. He use to remain very upset.

One day the head master of the village school came to him and asked about his disappointment. The old man told him that because of his being illiterate he is facing trouble to get in touch with his children. He described how he never went to school because of his commitments towards his family. After listening to the his problem, the head master gave him a solution that instead of asking help from others he should once again start going to school and read and write.

The old man said everybody would laugh at him at this age studying. The headmaster told is better late than never. So following his advice the man joined the night school and started reading and writing. within few months he started writing letters to his children and getting their answers too. By then he did not have to go to anyone to read the letter. That day he was clear on the proverb that better late than never.

Better late than never meaning of the proverb- It is better to do something or arrive after the expected time than not do it or arrive at all.

"While my hair was still cut straight across my

forehead

I played about the front gate, pulling flowers.

You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse,

You walked about my seat, playing with blue

plums.

And we went on living in the village of Chokan:

Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."

The first stanza of "The River Merchant's Wife" emphasizes youth, nature, and playing between children. The verb "play" is repeated three times, and she mentions "flowers" and "blue plums." There is harmony between the presence of "I" and "you."

"While my hair was still cut straight across my

forehead

The use of the word "while" and the image of her haircut as a child shows us the recollection of when they first met, before they were to marry.

And we went on living in the village of Chokan:

Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."

The "You" and "I" merge at the end of the first stanza, forming a "we"

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Read the following excerpt from "Madam and the Rent Man" by Langston Hughes.

He said, Madam,

I ain't pleased!

I said, Neither am I.

So we agrees!

The poet chooses to use slang in this stanza because it

A.reflects the way people really spoke, which makes the poem more realistic. B.avoids using informal language, which is not appropriate for poems. C.provides a standard rhyme within the stanza, which makes the poem easier to understand. D.shows a bond between Madam and the rent man that suggests they will resolve their differences.

Answer:

A. reflects the way people really spoke, which makes the poem more realistic.

Explanation:

When the poet decided to use slang in the poem, he wanted to establish a language closer to the readers, so he decided to write in a more informal tone and using common words from the daily lives of people.

This, in addition to bringing the text closer to the reader, allows the reader to read something in a more familiar and realistic language, increasing their understanding of the work.
