    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    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.

    Rate this question:

    • Hippolyta (to Theseus)

    Correct Answer
    A. Egeus (to Theseus)
    Explanation
    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.

    • Helena (to Lysander)

    • Hermia (to Egeus)

    • Demetrius (to Helena)

    • Helena (to herself)

    Correct Answer
    A. Helena (to herself)
    Explanation
    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).

    A. True
    Explanation
    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 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.

    A. Lion
    A. Thisbe
    Explanation
    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.
