Explanation

The correct answer paraphrases the passage by expressing Juliet's suspicion that the friar may have given her real poison in order to kill her. She believes that the friar is concerned about his reputation being ruined because he married her to Romeo, and therefore he may not want her to marry someone else.

Explanation

Juliet's fears are mentioned in the question, and the correct answer is the one that is not a fear of Juliet's.

In Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Friar Laurence's plan involves Juliet drinking a vial of liquid that will make her appear dead, allowing her to escape her arranged marriage and be with Romeo. The plan also includes Romeo and Juliet being reunited in Mantua. However, waking up alone in the family vault is not part of Friar Laurence's plan.

6. In her soliloquy, Juliet does not admits that

Explanation

The correct answer is "death is better than losing Paris." This is evident from Juliet's soliloquy in which she expresses her fear of waking up in the tomb alone and losing Paris.

7. Who said it? "My poverty, but not my will, consents."

Explanation

In Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," the character of the Apothecary utters the line, "My poverty, but not my will, consents." This line is spoken by the Apothecary when Romeo approaches him to buy poison. The Apothecary is hesitant to sell the poison due to its illegal nature, but his poverty compels him to do so. The line reflects the Apothecary's inner conflict between his desperate need for money and his moral reservations about selling a deadly substance.

Explanation

This answer is correct because dramatic irony refers to a situation in which the audience or reader knows something that the characters in the story do not. In this case, Balthazar tells Romeo that Juliet is dead, but the audience knows that she is actually alive. This creates a sense of tension and suspense, as Romeo's tragic decision to take his own life is based on false information. The use of dramatic irony adds depth and complexity to the plot, making it a fitting explanation for the given answer.
