Answer:

to foreshadow how the haircut will affect Bernice

Explanation:

The given excerpt is taken from "Bernice Bobs Her Hair" written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. It is a short story written in 1920. The story was first published in May 1920 in the Saturday Evening Post.

The story is about a wealthy girl named, Bernice. In the month of August, she pays a visit to her cousin's house, Marjorie. Bernice is unattractive and no boy wants to dance with her. Her cousin then teaches how to be a 'society girl' and teaches her how to flirt with boys. After learning all these manners, Bernice becomes talk of the society specially among boys. Warren who was first interested in Bernice cousin, Marjorie, shifts his interest to Bernice. Jealous of this, Marjorie, tricks Bernice in bobbing her hair. After the hair-cut, Bernice again become less attractive to boys. There's a party held in the honor of Marjorie and her mother, so, Bernice decides to leave before the party. But before leaving, she sneaks into the room of Marjorie and cuts her braids.

In the given passage, Fitzgerald used the metaphor of 'guillotine' to foreshadow that this haircut is going to have an effect on Bernice.

'Guillotine' is a tool used to behead criminals.

This use of metaphor shows that Bernice is now going to be beheaded and this is going to impact Bernice's social life again.

So, the correct answer is second option.

Hello. You have not asked any questions related to this text, which makes it impossible for me to answer you. However, I will try to help you by showing you what this text means.

This text is an excerpt from "Romeo and Juliet" written by Shakespeare. As you may already know, "Romeo and Juliet" tells the story of forbidden love between Romeo and Juliet who are the children of enemy families and therefore cannot be together, even if they love each other.

This passage refers to the moment when Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, kills Romeo's friend Mercutio, completely unjustly and unnecessarily. Romeo, is upset by this death and decides to take revenge. It is at that moment that he declaims the words contained in that text, stating that revenge must be so complete, that he must kill Tybalt, or himself.
