identify the choice that best answers the question.

if a friend says that she wants a confidence with you, what does she mean? base your answer on the meaning of confidence as it appears in the tragedy of romeo and juliet, act ii.

a. she wants to accompany you to an appointment.

b. she wants you to join a group she belongs to.

c. she wants you to help her with a project.

d. she wants to speak to you privately.

Explanation:

In The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet, Act II, the word "confidence" is used to mean a private or confidential communication. So if a friend says she wants a confidence with you, she means she wants to speak to you privately. Option A is about accompanying to an appointment, Option B is about joining a group, Option C is about helping with a project—none match the meaning of "confidence" as a private talk.

Answer:

D. She wants to speak to you privately.
