    A. He does not want anyone to think that his family is not honouring Tybalt's memory
    Explanation
    Capulet is determined to make the wedding small with only "a friend or two" in attendance because he does not want anyone to think that his family is not honoring Tybalt's memory. Tybalt, who is Capulet's nephew, has recently been killed, and Capulet is concerned that if they have a big celebration, it may be perceived as them not caring enough about Tybalt's death. By keeping the wedding small, Capulet wants to show respect for Tybalt and avoid any negative opinions about his family's actions.

    In Elizabethan times, fathers decided who their daughters would marry. Marriages between members of the upper class were usually for love. Daughters showed great respect for their families by speaking out against their father's choice of a husband. 

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    During Elizabethan times, fathers did have a significant say in their daughters' marriages. However, marriages among the upper class were not necessarily based on love. Instead, they were often arranged for political, social, or economic reasons. Daughters were expected to obey their fathers' decisions and show respect for their families by accepting their chosen husband. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that daughters showed great respect by speaking out against their father's choice of a husband.

    Explanation
    In the quote "Hang thee, young baggage, disobedient wretch!", Shakespeare uses Capulet's insulting language to convey his anger, shock, and disgust at Juliet's disrespect towards him and their family name. The use of words like "hang", "baggage", and "disobedient wretch" shows Capulet's extreme frustration and disappointment with Juliet's actions. The harshness of the language emphasizes the intensity of Capulet's emotions and his belief that Juliet has brought shame upon their family.

This deception is a result of Juliet's desperate situation, as she is secretly married to Romeo, who is considered an enemy by her family.

    Correct Answer
    A. Young people are mature enough to fall passionately in love
    Explanation
    Shakespeare's tragic play Romeo and Juliet does not necessarily teach us that young people are mature enough to fall passionately in love. In fact, the play portrays the impulsive and irrational nature of their love, which ultimately leads to their tragic demise. The play emphasizes the consequences of their hasty decisions and the destructive effects of their love on themselves and those around them.
