Okay, lets start from the beginning. I'm going to assume the worksheet means/is asking how long/short the sound would be from the object. So...
1) Light bulb - Long
2) Bricks/Cinderblocks - Short
3) Hair Dryer - Long
4) Swimming - Long
5) Whistle - Could potentially be both, but most likely short.
6) Crying/Wailing - Long
7) Fencing - Could potentially be both, but most likely short.
8) Grilling - Could potentially be both, but most likely long.
9) Flies/Bug - Could potentially be both, but most likely long.
10) Smiling- Short
11) Eating Pie/Pie in General - Could potentially be both, but most likely short.
12) Jumping off a cliff. Could potentially be both, but most likely long.
Hope that helps.
During Act 2 scene 3, friar laurence says "is rosaline that thou didst love so dear, so soon forsaken? (...) The sun not yet thy sighs from heaven clears, thy old groans ring yet in mine ancient ears." Basically, he thinks Romeo musnt truly be in love with Juliet if he had just a couple days or so ago been crying over Rosaline not liking him back. He's reluctant towards romeo's requests to marry juliet because he thinks its too soon for romeo to know he is in love with juliet.
