    What is Romeo's punishment for murder?

    • Banishment

    • Death

    • Torture

    • Prison

    Correct Answer
    A. Banishment
    Explanation
    Romeo's punishment for murder is banishment. This means that he is forced to leave his home and live in exile as a consequence of his actions. Banishment is a severe punishment, as it separates Romeo from his loved ones and the life he knows. It serves as a form of punishment and also as a deterrent for others, sending a message that such actions will not be tolerated within the community.

    Correct Answer
    A. Rosaline
    Explanation
    Romeo goes to the party to see Rosaline at the beginning of the play. This is evident from the text as Romeo is shown to be infatuated with Rosaline and talks about her beauty and his unrequited love for her. He attends the party hoping to catch a glimpse of her and perhaps win her affection. However, his encounter with Juliet at the party changes everything and he falls in love with her instead.

    Who does Juliet's father sign a contract for her to marry?

    • Paris

    • Benvolio

    • Mercutio

    • Tybalt

    Correct Answer
    A. Paris
    Explanation
    Juliet's father signs a contract for her to marry Paris. This is evident from the context of the question, where the question specifically asks about the person whom Juliet's father signs a contract for her to marry. The other options, Benvolio, Mercutio, and Tybalt, are not relevant to the question and do not have any connection to Juliet's marriage. Therefore, the correct answer is Paris.

    Explanation
    Tybalt kills Mercutio. This is a significant event in Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet." Mercutio is Romeo's close friend and is known for his wit and loyalty. His death serves as a turning point in the play, leading to a series of tragic events. Tybalt, Juliet's cousin, kills Mercutio in a duel, which then leads Romeo to seek revenge and ultimately results in the tragic end of both Romeo and Juliet.

    An example of dramatic irony would be...

    • Romeo not getting the message about the plan to give Juliet a sleeping potion that looks like death.

    • Juliet discovering Romeo's body a second after she woke up.

    • Romeo's friends fighting with Tybalt without knowing that there was a marriage and now they are related.

    • The families reaching the tomb to discover the bodies of their youngest children.

    Correct Answer
    A. Romeo's friends fighting with Tybalt without knowing that there was a marriage and now they are related.
    Explanation
    This scenario is an example of dramatic irony because the audience is aware of the marriage between Romeo and Juliet, while Romeo's friends are not. This creates tension and suspense as the audience knows that the two families are now connected through marriage, but the characters are unaware of this fact. The audience is left waiting for the moment when the truth is revealed and the characters discover the irony of their situation.
