    • Sampson

    Correct Answer(s)
    A. Tybalt
    A. Abraham
    Explanation
    Tybalt is a Capulet because in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," Tybalt is a member of the Capulet family. He is Juliet's cousin and plays a significant role in the conflict between the Capulets and the Montagues. Abraham, Sampson, and Benvolio are characters from the play, but they do not belong to the Capulet family. Romeo, on the other hand, is a Montague, not a Capulet.
