The word downtrodden in this sentence from section 2 means

English
1 answer:
lorasvet [3.4K]3 years ago

unfortunate and miserable

 

The best response is the first reply because downtrodden means trampled upon, crushed, depressed.  One way you can help yourself in the future when looking to determine the meaning of a word is to try to replace it with synonyms.  That said, if you replace “downtrodden” with “depressed” or “sad,” the sentence still makes perfect sense.  However, what if you don’t know synonyms?  In that case, try to look at the parts of the word.  For instance, the prefix of “downtrodden” is “down.”  That said, “down” is typically a word associated with “sad.”  Thus, one could make the connection that “downtrodden” is synonymous with “unfortunate” and/or “miserable.”

Which two pairs of lines in this excerpt from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet show that Lord Capulet thinks Juliet is too young t
IrinaVladis [17]
The line that best states that Juliet is too young to get married is Capulet's first line. "But say o'er what I had said before: My child is yet a stranger in the world; She hath not seen the change of fourteen years, Let two more summers wither in their pride, Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride." 

Capulet is saying that Juliet is not familiar with what goes on in the world and that within her lifetime, she hasn't seen the change around her. He's saying that he wants her to spend two more summers at most, because he thinks she's too young to marry. 

Hope this helps! 
  Signed, Liz
