Now Romeo is beloved and loves again, Alike betwitched by the charm of looks, But to his foe supposed he must complain, And she steal love's sweet bait from fearful hooks: Being held a foe, he may not have access To breathe such vows as lovers use to swear; And she as much in love, her means much less To meet her new-beloved any where: But passion lends them power, time means, to meet Tempering extremities with extreme sweet.

Answer:

If you mean the excerpt from the Act II of “Romeo and Juliet”, by Shakespeare, said by Chorus, I believe that the correct answer is second statement: It reveals the conflicting feelings Romeo has for Juliet and his family.

 

Based on the excerpt from Act II of “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, the main purpose of this prologue, said by chorus, is to present Romeo’s conflicted feelings for Juliet and her family and to recap past events that happened in the play ( Romeo forgot about his previous love, Rosaline, by seeing Juliet). The chorus also creates an ominous mood that hints at the conflicts of the play (“Tempering extremities with extreme sweet”).

How Did Biden Do It? Wide Coalition Powered Win, explain
docker41 [41]

Several people didn't agree with what trump has said and done. He's homophobic, racist, and against womens rights. He's let officers take black people's lives, tried to enforce stop and frisk, which is basically taking any black person off of the street and tossing them into jail, and hasn't taken the virus seriously. He's also calling global warming an expensive little hoax, which is completely wrong and upsetting. Biden, however, is in favor of LGBTQ+ rights, womens rights, and supports black men and women. He's letting a black, female woman to be his vice president, which is a massive step, as she's the first one.
