Read this excerpt from the prologue of Romeo and Juliet.Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.

In addition to introducing two families in the play, this excerpt helps

describe the children of the families.
build interest about what happens in the story.
detail the part of Verona where the action takes place.
foreshadow who dies at the end of the story.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

build interest about what happens in the story. This is the correct answer.

The choir introduces the readers to the story.  The reader can put these questions to himself / herself : What will make the two households get together?; if the two families are dignified, Why will they feel hatred and Why will they fight?; Why will they get to the point of killing someone? These questions may be answered through the play.

These options are not right:

-describe the children of the families ( The households' feelings are mentioned).

-detail the part of Verona where the action takes place. ( This is part of the setting).

-foreshadow who dies at the end of the story.( There will be tragic deaths but they do not say who will die).

What two concepts does H. G. Wells connect in this excerpt from The Time machine?At first, proceeding from the problems of our own age, it seemed clear as daylight to me that the gradual widening of the present merely temporary and social difference between the Capitalist and the Labourer, was the key to the whole position. No doubt it will seem grotesque enough to you—and wildly incredible!—and yet even now there are existing circumstances to point that way. There is a tendency to utilize underground space for the less ornamental purposes of civilization; there is the Metropolitan Railway in London, for instance, there are new electric railways, there are subways, there are underground workrooms and restaurants, and they increase and multiply. Evidently, I thought, this tendency had increased till Industry had gradually lost its birthright in the sky. I mean that it had gone deeper and deeper into larger and ever larger underground factories, spending a still-increasing amount of its time therein, till, in the end—! Even now, does not an East-end worker live in such artificial conditions as practically to be cut off from the natural surface of the earth?
A.) present and future social conditions
B.) rich employers and poor laborers
C.) the Eloi and the Morlocks
D.) primitive and modern technology

Answers

The correct answer present and future social conditions. The two concepts that H. G. Wells connect in this excerpt from The Time machine are the present and future social conditions.

Which playwright is known for criticizing political and social norms in his plays? Sophocles Aeschylus Euripides Thespis

Answers

The playwright who is known for criticizing political and social norms in his plays is Euripides.

Answer:

C). Euripides.

Explanation:

As per the question, Euripides is for critiquing the social and political standards of the time. He brought forward the social issues like the evacuation of women to lower status or worth. He challenged the social conventions of treating women as the weaker sex and contradicted this belief by portraying strong female characters and feeble male characters. His realism mirrored the multi-faceted reality of society that added a feather to his cap of social criticism by challenging the political system of the time(which advocated supremacy of men). Thus, option C 'Euripides' would be regarded as the playwright who critiqued the social and political norms of the society through his plays.
