The correct answer is D. Mood
Explanation:
In literature, including poetry, the mood refers to the atmosphere created by the author or the narrator through the election of words, the setting, the theme, and other literary elements. Additionally, this atmosphere evokes specific feelings, emotions, reactions, and thoughts on the reader. In the case of poems, the mood or atmosphere that evoke certain feelings or emotions is prevalent during all the poem in most cases, but in longer literary works such as novels the mood changes with the actions of the characters and the setting of the story. Examples of mood include words related to feelings such as sad, serious, dark or peaceful. Considering the previous ideas it can be concluded the feeling or emotional quality that a poem evokes or creates on the readers is called "mood".
Answer:
The prince's thought shows that it is not possible to pay a life with another life, that is, he shows that killing Romeo will not pay the debt for Mercutio's death, besides that whoever kills Romeo, will have the same debt as him.
Explanation:
When the prince asks "Who now the price of his dear blood doth owe?" he is showing that Mercutio's life is priceless, nothing will make Romeo pay for this life and neither Romeo nor anyone can bring Mercutio back, that is, it is useless to kill Romeo and turn another citizen of the city into a murderer. Therefore, the best punishment is to exile Romeo and let him suffer the consequences of his own actions.
