Explanation:

The servant in this excerpt from Romeo and Juliet is comedic because he unknowingly invites Romeo (a Montague, the enemy of the Capulets) to the Capulet's feast. Let's analyze the options:

• The option about revealing Capulet's wealth is incorrect as the servant doesn't discuss wealth.
• The option about revealing where Capulets live is incorrect; he invites to the feast, not just reveals the address.
• The option about offending with questions is incorrect as the servant's questions aren't the comedic part.
• The correct option is the first one: he unknowingly invites his master’s opponent (Romeo, a Montague) to join the feast.

Answer:

A. he unknowingly invites his master’s opponent to join the feast
