Answer: A. His response to the servants fighting in the beginning of the play

Explanation:

Servants of the Capulet family start a fight with Montague family servants. Benvolio, a Montague, draws his sword and attempts to break up the fight. Tybalt, a Capulet, sees the drawn sword of Benvolio. Tybalt draws his sword and, after Benvolio tries to avoid conflict, Tybalt attacks. The fight escalates. Montague and Capulet enter the scene. The Prince enters and commands the fight to end. Frustrated with the family feud, the Prince declares a death sentence on anybody who starts more trouble.

BENVOLIO

Part, fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do.

Enter TYBALT

TYBALT

What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds°?

Turn thee, Benvolio, look upon thy death.

BENVOLIO

I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword

Or manage it to part these men with me.

...

Benvolio then discusses the quarrel with Tybalt with his uncle (Romeo's father):

MONTAGUE

Who set this ancient quarrel new abroach?[11]

Speak, nephew. Were you here when it began?

BENVOLIO

Here were the servants of your adversary

And yours, close fighting ere° I did approach.

I drew to part them; in the instant came

The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared,

Which, as he breathed defiance to my ears,

He swung about its head and cut the winds,

Which, nothing hurt at all, hissed it in scorn.

While we were interchanging thrusts and blows

Came more and more who fought on part and part,

Til the prince came, who parted either part.

Should teachers have guns in school? I dont know what kind of answer but please ideas?

Anton [14]

Hey again!

The answer is based on personal opinion. I don't think our teachers should be armed, but there are advantages and disadvantages.

Multiple pros and cons of teacher's being armed.

Two pros:
- To protect their students and themselves during an active shooting
- They wouldn't be defenseless during a shooting
Why shouldn't they? (Cons) - They might use the gun to discipline their students.
- A child could find and use the firearm.
- It's not the teacher's job to be a bodyguard for the students.
- The students may feel unsafe around the teacher.

I hope this helps.

I never imagined that we would live in a moment like this, where we find ourselves totally defenseless, against an invisible and very dangerous threat. Six months ago our life was different, we could meet our friends, get out of the case, go to parties, cinemas, in short; we were free. At that time I had difficulties in seeing the privilege of freedom and happiness, but the last two months have made me a changed human being.

I had a hard time finding happiness in the small things in life. Always expect to feel the general concept of happiness, which is something very difficult to achieve and that's why I always felt unhappy, because I didn't have, like most people, complete happiness. However, with the arrival of the coronavirus, we saw our lives threatened, our routines changed and our liberties limited, since in the name of our health, we should stay at home.

This period allowed me to rethink my own concepts, I was able to change terrible opinions that I didn't have time to reflect because of the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Those two months changed my perception of the world and of myself. I hope that this reflexive moment that my life took turns me, really, into a better human being, more conscious and rational, so that when our lives return to normal, I can be someone who makes positive differences in the lives of everyone around me.
