Which sentence best summarizes the first four lines of the prologue? "Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean."

Two families, who both live in Verona, Italy, have the same social status and are part of an old feud that turns into new fighting in which regular people are killing each other.

Two friends in Verona, Rome have the same amount of money and hate each other, so those two people fight and get dirty.

Romeo and Juliet have an old grudge against each other in Verona, France, and they start new fighting because of the old grudge; they kill each other fighting.

Which sentence best summarizes lines 5-9? "From forth the fatal lions of these two foes A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life; Whose misadventured piteous overthrows Do with their death bury their parents' strife."

The two enemy families each have their own children who end up falling in love and killing themselves; when the lovers commit suicide, the family feud and rage finally ends.

Romeo and Juliet are enemies, and Romeo and Juliet have kids together who kill themselves, which makes the family feud continue.

If you pay attention to the two hours of acting, you will figure out why the two kids killed themselves; the feud never ends.

Which sentence is the best summary of lines 10-14? "The fearful passage of their death-mark'd love, And the continuance of their parents' rage, Which, but their children's end, nought could remove, Is now the two hours' traffic of our stage; The which if you with patient ears attend, What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend."

This story of Romeo and Juliet's suicidal love and the parents' continuous anger/feud shows that only their suicides could end the feud; pay attention while actors perform for two hours to give you more details.

This story of the parents falling in love and killing themselves shows that only the parents' deaths will end the feud, so pay attention for two hours while actors act out the rest of the details.

There will be traffic for two hours on stage, so pay attention to details about how Romeo and Juliet kill themselves and why the family feud never ends.

These lovers will mend the quarrel between their families by dying.

These lovers are part of quarreling families, and they will mend it by dying.
