answer

1. why does juliet ask romeo not to swear by the moon?

Explanation:

For question 5: In Romeo and Juliet Act 2, Scene 2, the two declare their love and plan to marry secretly the next day with the help of Friar Laurence.
For question 6: Juliet refuses to let Romeo swear by the moon because the moon is inconsistent—it waxes and wanes, so she fears this inconsistency would reflect on the stability of their love.

Answer:

1. C. Get married
2. Juliet asks Romeo not to swear by the moon because the moon is changeable (it waxes and wanes), and she does not want their love to be as inconsistent or variable as the moon.
