Question

3 who breaks up the fight in the beginning of the act? (a) a the prince b montague c benvolio d nurse (b) what is the punishment should the families fight again? a banishment b imprisonment c death d pay a fine

Explanation:

Part (a)

In the beginning of Romeo and Juliet (Act 1, Scene 1), the fight between the Montagues and Capulets is broken up by the Prince of Verona. Benvolio tries to stop the fight initially, but the Prince arrives to restore order. Montague is Romeo's father (part of the Montague family, involved in the feud), and the Nurse is Juliet's caretaker, not involved in breaking this fight. So the correct answer is the one with "The Prince".

The Prince of Verona, after breaking up the initial fight, warns the feuding families (Montagues and Capulets) that if they fight again, the punishment will be death. Banishment is Romeo's punishment later, imprisonment or a fine are not the stated punishment for renewed fighting.

Answer:

A. The Prince
