Question

read the excerpt from act v, scene iii of romeo and juliet. prince: a glooming peace this morning with it brings; the sun, for sorrow, will not show his head: go hence, to have more talk of these sad things: some shall be pardond, and some punished: for never was a story of more woe than this of juliet and her romeo. which words best help the reader understand the tone of the play’s conclusion? select four options. □ sad □ woe □ glooming □ pardond □ sorrow □ morning

Explanation:

To determine the words that help understand the tone of the play’s conclusion, we analyze the excerpt and the options:

• "sad": The line "Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things" uses "sad" to describe the events, contributing to a somber tone.
• "woe": The line "For never was a story of more woe" directly uses "woe" to emphasize the tragic nature.
• "glooming": "A glooming peace this morning with it brings" uses "glooming" to describe the peace, suggesting a dark, sorrowful tone.
• "sorrow": "The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head" uses "sorrow" to show the sadness in the scene.
• "pardon’d" and "morning" do not contribute to the tone of sadness/woe; "pardon’d" is about punishment/pardon, and "morning" is a time reference.

Answer:

A. sad, B. woe, C. glooming, E. sorrow
