Answer: B. “What are some specific examples of love causing violence in Romeo and Juliet?”
This is the question that most directly addresses the student's claim. The student argues that a theme of the play is that love can cause violence. In order to decide whether the statement has some truth to it, the first thing we need to do is discover whether the student has some evidence to support the claim. If he is able to come up with examples that support his position, then it is likely he is right about this topic being one of the main themes in the play.
Answer:
B) They were free and allowed to return to Africa
Explanation:
On March 9, 1841, the Supreme Court ruled 7-1 to uphold the lower court's decision in favor of the African. They wrote that:
"There does not seem to us to be any ground for doubt, that these Negroes ought to be deemed free."
However, the court didn't order the government to provide funds for the return of Africans to their homeland. The new President at that time, John Tyler, refused to provide funds for them. The salvage rights for the ships were awarded to U.S Navy Officers who captured it. Due to such circumstance, the Africans had to raise money from scratch. In November 1841, 35 Africans saild from Newyork towards their homeland, aided by funds raised by United Missionary Society, which was a black group.
The mood (or tone) of the prologue is considered as sombre, dark, macabre... since from the start we're being told that this story is going to be a story of love, death and loss.
