Answer:

A- "Weak as the doe who beds down her fawns / in the mighty lion's den..."

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary device that writers employ as a way of giving some hints about what is to happen later on in the story. Foreshadowing usually brings upon a negative connotation to it.

The line "Weak as the doe who beds down her fawns / in the mighty lion's den..." was said by Menelaus to Telemachus when he hears of the suitors in the palace. By using a metaphor, he means to say that Odysseus is the lion who owns the place and the suitors are just 'fawns', who will all be killed when the master of the house returns. He is comparing Odysseus with a lion who comes back to his palace full of fawns, weaklings. This event foreshadows the fate of these suitors who were trying to force Penelope into marrying one of them, for her husband Odysseus is no more and the kingdom needs a new king.

An onomatopoeia is basically a word that represents a sound. Examples include swoosh, bang, oink, screech, etc.

In this excerpt, the onomatopoeia is shriek. This is like a terrified scream. We have four answer options that talk about how this onomatopoeia can make you feel.

1. Frustrated

Both excerpts focus on the Prince’s reaction to the Capulet and Montague feud. How do the two excerpts compare? Which one holds
Serhud [2]

When we compare both excerpts form William Shakespeare´s Romeo and Juliet, we define that the prince is upset with Capulet and Montague because their fight is disturbing the town´s peace "<em>have thrice disturb´d the quiet of our streets</em>" "<em>so great a new disorder in his commonweal beheld</em>". At this moment we can see the prince as a quiet person who wants the peace for his town and is willing to take the necessary measures for that purpose.I got interested specially the classic version, because it is a patrimonial resource that allow to us know through the writing style how live the people in that period of time and is used to raw material for TV series and movies for our times. We can conclude the main commitment for a prince, president or any kind of leader is provide the peace for the territory which is ruled.
