Quiz Preview

  • 2. 

    Romeo and Juliet meet at a...

    • Fight between the families

    • A town festival

    • A costume party

    • At the local school

    Correct Answer
    A. A costume party
    Explanation
    Romeo and Juliet meet at a costume party. This explanation suggests that the two characters encounter each other while attending a social gathering where people are dressed in costumes. This scenario aligns with the famous balcony scene from Shakespeare's play, where Romeo sees Juliet for the first time and falls in love with her. The setting of a costume party adds an element of disguise and intrigue to their meeting, making it more memorable and significant in the story.

    Rate this question:

  • 3. 

    As a result of Romeo's act of murder, he is...

    • Sentenced to death

    • Sentenced to banishment

    • Sentenced to life in prison

    • Sentenced to five minutes of a Ke$ha album

    Correct Answer
    A. Sentenced to banishment
    Explanation
    Romeo is sentenced to banishment because murder is a serious crime and the punishment for such an act is often severe. Banishment means being forced to leave a place or community and not being allowed to return. This punishment is less severe than death or life in prison, but still serves as a significant consequence for Romeo's actions. The option of being sentenced to five minutes of a Ke$ha album is not a plausible punishment for murder and is therefore not the correct answer.

    Juliet is going to fake her death by...

    • Pretending to drown

    • Drinking fake poison

    • Covering herself in pig's blood

    • Leaving a phony suicide note

    Correct Answer
    A. Drinking fake poison
    Explanation
    Juliet is going to fake her death by drinking fake poison. This means that she plans to consume a substance that resembles poison but is not actually harmful. By doing so, she can create the illusion of her death without actually putting her life at risk. This method allows her to deceive others into believing that she has died, while ensuring her own safety.

    Correct Answer

    Explanation
    Romeo kills Tybalt. In Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," Tybalt is Juliet's cousin and a skilled swordsman. After Tybalt kills Romeo's friend Mercutio, Romeo seeks revenge and fights Tybalt, resulting in Tybalt's death. This event further escalates the conflict between the Capulets and Montagues, leading to tragic consequences for the young lovers.

    • Mercutio

    • Romeo

    • Tybalt

    Correct Answer
    A. Tybalt
    Explanation
    Tybalt is the correct answer because the question states that Romeo's friends get into a fight with Juliet's cousin. Since Tybalt is Juliet's cousin, it can be inferred that he is involved in the fight.

    • Stabbing herself with his knife

    • Throwing herself from the top of the building

    • Listing to an entire Ke$ha album

    Correct Answer
    A. Stabbing herself with his knife
    Explanation
    Juliet kills herself by stabbing herself with Romeo's knife. This is a significant event in the play "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare. After discovering Romeo's lifeless body, Juliet is devastated and decides to take her own life as well. By using Romeo's knife, she symbolically connects herself to him and the tragic fate they share. This act of self-inflicted violence demonstrates the depth of their love and the desperation they feel in the face of their feuding families' opposition.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    Where is the main setting for the play?

    • Venice

    • Verona

    • Mantua

    • Padua

    Correct Answer
    A. Verona
    Explanation
    The main setting for the play is Verona. This can be inferred from the fact that Verona is one of the options given and it is a well-known setting for many famous plays, including Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet." Verona is also mentioned in the play itself as the city where the Capulet and Montague families reside, further confirming its status as the main setting.

    Rate this question:

  • 10.

  • 11. 

    What is the name of Juliet's family?

    • Capuets

    • Montegues

    • Caputos

    • Montogas

    Correct Answer
    A. Capuets
    Explanation
    The correct answer is Capuets. In William Shakespeare's play Romeo and Juliet, Juliet's family is known as the Capulets. They are one of the two feuding families in Verona, the other being the Montagues. The Capulets are wealthy and powerful, and their ongoing feud with the Montagues forms the central conflict of the play.

    Rate this question:

  • 12. 

    Which one of the following is NOT a category of Shakespeare's plays?

    • Tragedy

    • Romance

    • Comedy

    • History

    Correct Answer
    A. Romance
    Explanation
    Shakespeare's plays are categorized into four main genres: tragedy, comedy, history, and romance. While tragedy, comedy, and history are all recognized categories of Shakespeare's plays, romance is not. Romance as a genre typically refers to stories that involve love, adventure, and often include elements of magic or the supernatural. Shakespeare did write plays that contained romantic elements, but romance as a distinct category was not recognized during his time. Therefore, romance is not a category of Shakespeare's plays.
