My lord, I’ll tell my lady you will come. Romeo: Do so, and bid my sweet prepare to chide. Nurse: Here, sir, a ring she bid me give you, sir. Hie you, make haste, for it grows very late. [ Exit .] Romeo: How well my comfort is reviv’d by this! Why does Romeo feel "reviv’d,” or comforted?

Answer
A
because he knows he will be seeing Juliet soon
B
because he is aware that Juliet is no longer upset
C
because he knows Juliet will forgive him for killing Tybalt
D
because he is confident his family will accept Juliet

Explanation

The Nurse brings Romeo a ring from Juliet and tells him to hurry because it is late. This shows that Juliet still wants to see him, so Romeo feels comforted by the prospect of seeing her soon. The excerpt does not say that Juliet has forgiven him for killing Tybalt or that his family will accept her.
