Question

Read the following exchange between Romeo and Juliet from act I of Romeo and Juliet. What does the excerpt reveal about the love between the two young people?
ROMEO: (to JULIET) If I profane with my unworthiest hand

This holy shrine, the gentle fine is this:

My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand

To smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss.


JULIET: Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much,

Which mannerly devotion shows in this;

For saints have hands that pilgrims' hands do touch,

And palm to palm is holy palmers' kiss.


ROMEO: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?


JULIET: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.

Answer 1

Their love is based on both physical and emotional attraction.

The use of imagery shows their love is predominantly physical. You can rule out D because although that may be true, it does not state anything relating to that in the small excerpt provided.
