According to benvolio who started the fight

English
1 answer:
Gre4nikov [31]3 years ago
4 0
This is what Benvolio says (talking to Montague).

"Here were the servants of your adversary,
And yours, close fighting ere I did approach:
I drew to part them: in the instant came
The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared,
Which, as he breathed defiance to my ears,
He swung about his head and cut the winds,
Who nothing hurt withal hiss'd him in scorn:
While we were interchanging thrusts and blows,
Came more and more and fought on part and part,
Till the prince came, who parted either part".

What actually happened was that Sampson and Gregory (Capulet servants) intended to provoke some of Montague's men into a fight. With Sampson biting his thumb, a verbal argument soon escalates into a fight between the parties. Benvolio then comes along sees the fight and tries to stop it by beating down their swords, using his own to do so. Tybalt then comes along and seeing Benvolio with a drawn sword, attacks. The fight then escalates further with the general citizenry joining in.

Therefore doing a quick precis of Benvolio's words - I saw your servants and those of your adversary (Capulet) fighting. I drew my sword to try and stop them. At that very moment, Tybalt appeared and seeing my drawn sword attacked. I asked him to cease, but he defied this request and wouldn't stop, expessing scorn for Montagues. We were skirmishing, and then more and more of the general citizens joined in, escalating a small disturbance into a major melee until the prince stepped in and stopped it..

Which theme from Macbeth do these lines support?
Deffense [45]
The correct answer here is C. The lines 'If good, why do I yield to that suggestion Whose horrid image doth unfix my hair And make my seated heart knock at my ribs, Against the use of nature?' most likely refer to the theme that things are not always what they seem. This is illustrated by the fact that the character is negating the fact that something is good through referring to events that have unsettled them.

qwelly [4]

Answer:

- Complete your homework before playing your game.

- Bring me your chromebook.

Explanation:

Imperative mood is of three verb moods in English. It is used to express an order, demand or a command.

It comprises of bare infinitive of the verb and is most often used in second person singuar or plural.

Obviously, first and last option here use imperative mood; they express a demand, something that needs to be done (Complete your homework! Bring me that!).

Option 2) is a question, and in English, for posing questions, we use indicative mood.

Option 3) is an expression of a wish, and for that, we use subjunctive mood.
