Answer:

a. he knows that if he says Mercutio started the fight, then the prince will be less sympathetic to him.

Explanation:

This is the most accurate answer. At the beginning of the scene, when Tybalt walks in, it is Mercutio who taunts him. However, as the fighting begins, both Mercutio and Tybalt end up dead. When Benvolio retells the story to the Prince, after Romeo has escaped, he avoids mentioning that Mercutio was the one who started the fight. Instead, he focuses on how Romeo wanted to maintain the peace. It is likely that Benvolio does so because otherwise the Prince would be less sympathetic to him.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

The full question is:

Read this excerpt from Frankenstein.

It is impossible to communicate to you a conception of the

trembling sensation, half fearful, with which I am preparing

to depart. I am going to unexplored regions. ... Shall I

meet you again, after having traversed immense seas, and

returned by the most southern cape of Africa or America? |

dare not expect such success, yet I cannot bear to look on

the reverse of the picture. ... Remember me with

affection, should you never hear from me again.

Which words best describe the overall tone of this passage?

A. Calm and contemplative

B. Excited and cautious

C. Tentative and curious

D. Resentful and angry

The answer is B. Excited and cautious.

Explanation:

Going through the text, the writer's excitement is communicated with words like "trembling sensation". He is excited about the journey he is about to take but he is also aware of the dangers, therefore cautious.

So as he writes, he takes care not to expect much success. He also anticipates that he may not return, hence the line "should you never hear from me again".

He is clearly excited about his journey but cautious about the dangers and cautious enough not to ignite hope about his return to whoever he is writing to.
