The themes of friendship and loyalty are developed in the first excerpt from Bret Harte's "Tennessee's Partner" by suggesting three infidelities, since the character Tennessee courted his Partner's wife, and the bride accepted him, but later on she abandoned him and went out with another man. The excerpt also suggests a strong affection and loyalty from Tennessee's Partner towards Tennessee, even though he has stolen his wife. The second excerpt likewise reflects Tennessee's Partner's unconditional affection and admiration for Tennessee, even after his death. The character's delirium is making him seeing his beloved friend, whom he fondly calls "old girl", coming his way. He struggles to accomplish his goal of putting him (his dead body) in the cart.
<span>1) The speaker pleads with his mistress to let him touch her and to lose her virginity to him.
2) She is being coy because they aren't married, and being sexually involved with him would stain her honor as a woman.

I think this is right but I'm not sure but I'll try my best
1) D because cunning refers to skill in deceit and trickery, and telling a convincing lie is the only option that involves both skill and deceit.
2) D because to speak to somebody in confidence means that you want to be confident that the information shared is between the group you share confidence with. Nurse wishes to speak to Romeo in confidence that he will not tell anybody because it is a secret and she wishes only for Romeo to know.
3) B because to counter something means to go against that thing. An example is a counter-argument, or an argument against another argument.
4) B because that is the act <em>against</em> someone. All the other options demonstrate a command, but not a <em>countermand, </em>if you get my gist.
5) A (i think) because the decision to get married was an unwise and hasty decision made of young lust, and ulimately caused the great tragedy. If Romeo and Juliet had taken things slower, things might've been possible renegotiated or at least thought over.
6) B because Friar Lawrence is really Romeo's 'father figure' because his father is so often absent in his life. He acts as a mentor and tries to help Romeo get married to his love.
