Question

read the excerpt from act iii, scene v of romeo and juliet juliet: then, window, let day in, and let life out. romeo: farewell, farewell! one kiss, and ill descend. descends. juliet: art thou gone so? my lord, my love, my friend! i must hear from thee every day in the hour, for in a minute there are many days: o! by this count i shall be much in years ere i again behold my romeo. what conclusion can be drawn about juliet based on her reaction to romeo’s departure? she is enthusiastic about her future with romeo. she is jealous of the adventures romeo will have abroad. she questions romeo’s devotion to their marriage vows. she depends on romeo and dreads life without him.

Explanation:

To determine the conclusion about Juliet, we analyze her lines. When Romeo departs, Juliet says she must hear from him every day and fears being old before seeing him again. This shows she depends on him and dreads life without him. The other options are incorrect: she’s not enthusiastic about the future (she’s sad about his leaving), not jealous of his adventures, and doesn’t question his devotion (she’s worried about separation, not his commitment).

Answer:

She depends on Romeo and dreads life without him.
