After reading the passage above, one can infer that it belongs to an article or an essay which purpose is to inform the reader about the population boom and its consequences (cause-effect writing). The writer developed the main event in the introduction of the passage and then added supporting sentences about the consequences of that main event. The population is growing in cities such as San Antonio, Phoenix, and Los Angeles and this event has serious effects on the desert environment of these cities mentioned earlier, being the most obvious one the water shortages. The reader can infer all this information thanks to the organization of the text and the words or connectors used. The organization that has been used by the writer is The Casual Chain (one effect is a cause of another effect, which in turn can become a cause of another effect, and so on) and some of the words/connectors chosen to describe the relationship of the events are “result”, “Because…,”, and “concern”.
B and C seem like they are just giving information about the question, instead of answering it. A seems like a legitimate answer
Benvolio will be right, and Romeo will forget all about Rosaline.
Romeo and Benvolio will be revealed as Montagues, and a fight will break out.
Juliet will make a decision about whether she wants to marry Paris.
The question asks about your personal opinion when it says, "What do you think". However, there are some choices that make the most sense based on what you know because of any prior knowledge you have of the story and the prologue. We know that Romeo will not be with Rosaline in the end, so it would be logical to think that she is no longer a love interest of his when he sees Juliet at the party. Also, the prologue mentions that there will be new mutiny in regards to the ancient grudge, so we can expect more fighting. Last, we know that Juliet has to make a decision about marrying Paris at the party because of the conversation she had with her mother. Of course, we know what that decision will be, but still.
