Question

5 who asks to propose to juliet? (a) a petruchio b pinocchio c peter d paris (b) what was capulets reaction? (choose the best response). a he says no. b he agrees to let paris propose. c he says to wait until juliet is older. d he agrees and sets a wedding date.

Explanation:

Part (a)

In Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", Paris is the one who asks to propose to Juliet. Petruchio is from "The Taming of the Shrew", Pinocchio is a fairy - tale character, and Peter is a servant in "Romeo and Juliet" but not the one who asks to propose to Juliet.

Capulet's reaction to Paris' request to propose to Juliet is that he says to wait until Juliet is older (she is around 13 at that time) and also tells Paris that he can try to win Juliet's heart in the meantime. Option A is wrong as he doesn't say no. Option B is incorrect as he doesn't just agree to let Paris propose immediately. Option D is wrong as he doesn't set a wedding date right away.

Answer:

D. Paris
