<span>Death being discussed in this play is foreshadowing. The author is hinting that Romeo and Juliet will die or at least that someone will die. Foreshadowing is a good way to give your audience a hint about what is to come so they will feel suspense and will try to see what will happen next.</span>

In Act I, Scene 4, Benvolio suggests that Romeo accompany him to a mosque in order to forget about his lost love, Rosaline. They are held back by Mercutio's monologue on Queen Mab, and Benvolio worries that they will be too late. But Romeo remarks with a powerful insight: I fear, too early; for my mind misgives some consequence yet hanging in the stars shall bitterly begin his fearful date with this night's revels and expire the term of a despised life, closed in my breast, By some vile forfeit of untimely death.

These lines are pregnant with foreshadowing.

Romeo fears that he is too early, sensing that he should not meet anyone. His meeting with Juliet is exactly "too early" as had he waited, Juliet may have been engaged to Paris.

"Some consequence" does, indeed, begin this night; he meets Juliet, and as a consequence of seeing and talking with her, Romeo falls in love.

The mention of "in the stars" alludes to the Prologue in which the lovers, Romeo and Juliet, are referred to as "star-crossed lovers," meaning that they are fated. So, Romeo senses that fate will play a role in his life this night as it makes its "fearful date."

"expire the term/of this despised life" foreshadows Romeo's feelings of agony in Act V, Scene 2, as he feels that he is "life-weary" and purchases poison, so he can join Juliet in her tomb.

"untimely death" presages what occurs for both Romeo and Juliet.

b. a time log.

Explanation:

<u>A time log, as the name suggests, is basically a record of activities performed by someone and the amount of time spent doing each activity. In this particular example, it also provides columns for location and others involved. Time logs are mostly structured as spreadsheets that help you visualize where your time is being invested.</u>

Which possessive pronoun best completes the following sentence?
lara [203]

Answer:

Peter and Paulette raked the leaves in <u>their</u> front yard.

Explanation:

Possessive pronouns show possession or ownership in a sentence. There are two types: Absolute possessive pronouns, namely, mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, yours, and theirs. And possessive adjectives, namely, my, your, his, her, its, our, your, and their; unlike, absolute possessive pronouns, possessive adjectives are always placed next to a noun.

So, with this definition, we can easily discard option 2 "them." because it is not a possessive pronoun.

Now, in the sentence, the possessive pronoun that should be in the blank is one that refers to both Peter and Paulette, that is to say, to the third-person plural. "Her" and "his" refers to the third-person singular, and "their" refers to the third-person singular,l, so the correct answer is definitely "their."
