    What is Romeo's character like in the first part of the story?     

    • Depressed

    • Happy

    • Sad

    • Both A and C are correct

    • Both A and B are correct

    Correct Answer
    A. Both A and C are correct
    Explanation
    In the first part of the story, Romeo's character is depicted as both depressed and sad. This can be inferred from his melancholic behavior and his constant expressions of sorrow and despair. He is shown to be deeply affected by his unrequited love for Rosaline, which contributes to his overall gloomy demeanor. Additionally, Romeo's sadness is further emphasized by his tendency to isolate himself from others and indulge in self-pity. Therefore, both options A (depressed) and C (sad) accurately describe Romeo's character in the first part of the story.
