<span>I had this same question and this was the correct answer:
</span><span>Thee, Thou, Thy and Thine (You and Your)
</span>It’s a common myth that Shakespeare never uses the words “you” and “your” – actually, these words are commonplace in his plays. However, he also uses the words “thee / thou” instead of “you” and the word “thy / thine” instead of “your”. Sometimes he uses both “you” and “thy” in the same speech. This is simply because in Tudor England the older generation said “thee” and “thy” to denote a status or reverence for authority. Therefore when addressing a king the older “thou” and “thy” would be used, leaving the newer “you” and “your” for more informal occasions. Soon after Shakespeare’s lifetime, the older form passed away!

A hypothesized ancestral language from which two or more languages see to have derived is called ________.
aksik [14]

The correct answer is D. Protolanguage

Explanation:

In linguistics which is the study of language, a "protolanguage" is a language, which in most cases has not been proven but it is hypothesized, that is attributed to be the language that led to other languages due to evolution in language and historical processes of human societies. This means the proto-language is the ancestor of other languages and because of this, languages derived from one proto-language often share common traits. Therefore, a hypothesized ancestral language that leads to two or more languages is a Protolanguage.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

This is found in Act 3 scene 5: No fear Shakespeare of the Play "Ro meo and Ju li et".

Explanation:

Here we see how Shakespeare presents Capulet's attitudes towards his daughter, J u l i e t.

This is Capulet having the outburst. The reason of being so angry towards his daughter J u l i e t was her selfishness which her father saw. J u l i e t’s impulsiveness in getting married to R o m e o is the reason why she stands to be chided. Here is one of the possible consequences J u li e t didn't anticipate that her actions would bring her.

Capulet

"Don't look up at me till I am done with you." He inferred.

[Speak not. Reply not. Do not answer me.] Underlines his authoritatively language - instructions that he directs towards J u li e t as a father

[My fingers itch] - this is a direct threat of an assault or rage. Capulet's 'fingers itch' because he wishes to punish J u li e t because of her behaviour.

[Out on her, hilding!] - the use of the word 'hilding' is a demeaning term, meaning a wretch, a contemptible person, worthless, and this highlights Capulet's disgust. The exclamation mark highlights the degree of his wrath.

• He said that "the one child they had was one too many"

• He also called his one and only daughter a "hussy" (cheeky or disrespectful girl; a woman showing inappropriate or improper behaviour)

• When parents say these things they can take a big toll, emotionally, on the child

• Then the children might pull away.
