In Act 2, Juliet states "Deny thy father and refuse thy name, or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, and I'll no longer be a Capulet." This most closely means...

• I can not be with you because you are a Montague.
• Tell your father that you refuse to marry anyone other than me.
• If you will give up your name, I will give up my name, and we can be together.
• I won't be a Capulet anymore when I marry you.

Juliet begs Romeo not to swear "by the moon": what is her reasoning?

• It is a cloudy night and neither lover can actually see the moon.
• Morning is quickly approaching, and with the sun coming up, the moon is waning.
• The moon changes often; Juliet fears that if Romeo swears by it, his love will be as inconsistent
• The moon is too bright, and Juliet fears it might mean Romeo's promise will be an unstable one.

Which statement below is the best paraphrase for the following original words from Romeo: "Alack, there lies more peril in thine eye than twenty of their swords"?

• There is danger that Juliet will, just like Rosaline, become too dependent on Romeo.
• An uncaring look or a cruel word from Juliet would be far more hurtful than a sword fight with a capulet.
• Romeo isn't scared to fight Tybalt: he just wants some action.
• Juliet has a knife, and Romeo is afraid she'll shank him if he doesn't come back.

What is the most accurate paraphrase to the following lines of Benvolio to Mercutio: "Go, then, for 'tis in vain/ To seek him here that means not to be found"?

• Romeo wants us to continue looking for him so that we can protect him in case the Capulets find him first.
• It is pointless to search for Romeo when he clearly doesn't intend to be found.
• Go to bed, Mercutio, and I'll continue to look for my best friend.
• Juliet will never find Romeo no matter how hard she tries because it's pitch black out here.

Why does the nurse want Romeo and Juliet to get married ?

• she knows it will make Juliet happy
• She thinks the marriage will end the feud between the two families
• they make a cute couple
• she thinks that Romeo is smarter and better looking than Paris
