Answer:
It keeps the audience engaged in the plot by suggesting more potential conflict in the story.
It creates suspense as the reader wonders why Friar Laurence would utter this warning.
It provides a clue that something tragic will happen to the lovers later as the story progresses.
Explanation:
William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju liet" revolves around the fateful love story of two young lovers who were dealt a heavy blow due to their family's opposition to each other. Their love became 'illegal' and thus, led to the two lovers choosing death over anything that can separate them.
In Act I scene v of the play, Friar Laurence's speech about<em> "violent delights [that] have violent ends" </em>and the need to<em> "love moderately; long love doth so;" </em>shows a <u>sense of suspense about what might happen in the coming scenes</u>. This foreshadowing speech of the Friar <u>leaves the audience so engaged in the story, keeping it open for more conflicting scenes</u>. Moreover, it also makes us wonder why he had to say that, which in turn <u>keeps the suspense over the fate of the lovers in the open, suggesting that the lovers may be met with something tragic.</u>
Thus, the <u>correct answers are the first, third, and fifth options</u>.
I'd say the answer is C, 'circular reasoning'. Because they both mean
the same, so you are saying the same thing all over again in both parts
of the sentence.
