The statement is true because it states that Helena is jealous of Hermia and the love that Demetrius has for her. This suggests that Helena desires the same love and attention from Demetrius, but feels envious of Hermia for receiving it.

Egeus believes that Demetrius is a suitable match for his daughter, Hermia. This is evident from his strong opposition to Hermia's love for Lysander and his insistence on Demetrius as the ideal suitor.

The statement is false because at the start of the play, Theseus and Hippolyta's wedding is actually four days away, not five. This is mentioned in Act I, Scene 1, when Theseus says, "Four happy days bring in another moon." Therefore, the correct answer is False.

Egeus said this quote to Theseus. Egeus is speaking to Theseus, the Duke of Athens, and giving his consent for Lysander to marry his daughter. Egeus believes that Lysander has bewitched his daughter's heart and is requesting the duke's intervention in the matter.

In this quote, the speaker is expressing their thoughts and feelings about their situation. They mention that they are considered fair by others in Athens, but Demetrius does not share the same opinion. The use of the phrase "He will not know, what all, but he do know" suggests that the speaker is talking to themselves, reflecting on the fact that Demetrius is unaware of their true feelings. Therefore, the correct answer is Helena (to herself).

In the book "A Midsummer Night's Dream," the craftsmen are assigned their parts at Quince's house. This implies that Quince is the one responsible for assigning the roles to each craftsman. This information is not mentioned in the movie adaptation, so it is specific to the book version. Therefore, the statement is true.

The correct answer is "nuptial, nuptial." In this sentence, the word "nuptial" is repeated twice, indicating that the speaker is emphasizing the upcoming wedding or marriage. The repetition of the word adds emphasis and reinforces the idea that the nuptial hour is approaching quickly.

The passage "Take comfort. He shall no more see my face. Lysander and myself shall fly this place" was quoted by Hermia.

The correct answer is "tailor". Robin Starveling's profession is mentioned as a tailor.

Lysander said this quote to Theseus. He is asserting that he is just as well-born and wealthy as Demetrius, and that his love for Hermia is greater. Lysander also claims that his fortunes are just as good as Demetrius, if not better, and that he is loved by the beautiful Hermia.

The correct answer is "lamentable" or "Lamentable". The word "lamentable" means something that is deserving of grief or sorrow, indicating that the play is a very sad or unfortunate comedy. The capitalization of the word does not change its meaning, so both "lamentable" and "Lamentable" are correct answers.

The craftsmen plan to rehearse for the play at The Duke's Oak. This location is likely chosen because it provides a spacious and outdoor setting, which is ideal for rehearsing a play. The Duke's Oak may also have significance or symbolism within the play itself, making it a fitting location for the rehearsals. Additionally, the craftsmen may have been granted permission to use this location by the Duke, indicating its importance and suitability for their needs.

Bottom offers to play the roles of Lion and Thisbe in addition to Pyramus. This suggests that Bottom is willing to take on multiple roles in the play. Lion is a character in the play-within-a-play "Pyramus and Thisbe," and Thisbe is the female lead. Bottom's eagerness to play these roles showcases his enthusiasm and ambition as an actor.

The word "extempore" means to perform or speak without any preparation or rehearsal. In this context, Quince is saying that Snug can do the Lion's part extempore because it only requires roaring, which can be easily done without any prior practice or study.
