Answer:

Benvolio is a comic figure in this excerpt because he makes light of Romeo's heartache.

Explanation:

The romantic comedy play "Romeo and Ju liet" by William Shakespeare revolves around the forbidden/ illegal love of the two young lovers Romeo from the Montague family and Ju liet from the Capulet family. And due to their age-old family feud, they were led to their deaths, choosing love rather than a break-up.

In the given excerpt from Benvolio's speech from Act I scene ii, we see Benvolio making fun of his cousin's heartbreak. Romeo was lovesick with Rosalind and wanted no one else. At this, Benvolio told him they'll go to the Capulet's party and see that the other ladies were more beautiful than his Rosalind, proving that <em>"the swan" </em>is actually a <em>"crow"</em>. This is a comic scene where he made fun of Romeo's heartache.

Which line in this poem indicates that the poetic speaker is hopelessly in love?
Rzqust [24]

The correct answer is option letter E (He burnt un’wares his wings, and cannot fly away). Taken from the sonnet sequence “<em>Astrophel and Stella</em>” by Philip Sidney (1591), Sonnet 8 narrates the moment when Cupid travelled to England from his native home in Greece, since Greece has fallen under control of the Ottoman Empire. Cupid felt cold in this new territory and as soon as he saw <u>Stella's brilliant face</u>, he thought it was a source of heat, but it was not. Instead, her face was like “<em>like morning sun on snow</em>”, that is, it was bright but cold. The best line in the poem that describes the poetic speaker hopelessly in love is the one in letter E, since this option describes <u>how Cupid's wings were burnt by the flames of Astrophel's desire for Stella</u>. This event leaves Astrophel hopeless and uncertain of Stella’s capacity of loving, after Cupid's best efforts to live in her face.

Which group of words is a phrase? A. the sunlight was bright B. caught at the office C. he ordered a salad D. she is sleepy E. t
Novay_Z [31]

B. caught at the office

A phrase is not a sentence and can't stand alone. Caught at the office can't stand alone as a sentence; it is a <u>participial</u> phrase because it consists of a participle (<em>caught</em>) and a prepositional phrase (<em>at the office</em>).
