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

Explanation:

<em>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.</em>

<em><u></u></em>

<em><u>BENVOLIO</u></em>

<em>Part, fools! Put up your swords; you know not what you do.</em>

Enter TYBALT

<em><u>TYBALT</u></em>

<em>What, art thou drawn among these heartless hinds°?</em>

<em>Turn thee, Benvolio, look upon thy death.</em>

<em></em>

<em><u>BENVOLIO</u></em>

<em>I do but keep the peace. Put up thy sword</em>

<em>Or manage it to part these men with me.</em>

...

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

<em><u>MONTAGUE</u></em>

<em>Who set this ancient quarrel new abroach?[11]</em>

<em>Speak, nephew. Were you here when it began?</em>

<em />

<em><u>BENVOLIO</u></em>

<em>Here were the servants of your adversary</em>

<em>And yours, close fighting ere° I did approach.</em>

<em>I drew to part them; in the instant came</em>

<em>The fiery Tybalt, with his sword prepared,</em>

<em>Which, as he breathed defiance to my ears,</em>

<em>He swung about its head and cut the winds,</em>

<em>Which, nothing hurt at all, hissed it in scorn.</em>

<em>While we were interchanging thrusts and blows</em>

<em>Came more and more who fought on part and part,</em>

<em>Til the prince came, who parted either part.</em>

I just got off the wooden roll-a-coaster again. what are the grammar errors
alexandr402 [8]
The only error I can see in this sentence is roll-a-coaster. I believe it should be a roller coaster instead, which is a ride in amusement parks. Other than that, it is more grammatically correct to say "I've just gotten off the wooden" rather than "I just got off the wooden" however, it's up to you.
