Read the excerpt from Act III, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet . Friar Laurence: Romeo, come forth; come forth, thou fearful man: Affliction is enamour’d of thy parts, And thou art wedded to calamity. What is the meaning of the phrase "thou art wedded to calamity”?
Answer
A
Your marriage will be a complete disaster.
B
You have not had enough disaster in your life.
C
You often have disaster around you.
D
Your confusion is the cause of many disasters.
Explanation
“Wedded to” means joined or closely connected to, and “calamity” means great misfortune. Friar Laurence is saying that Romeo seems to have misfortune constantly around him, not that Romeo’s marriage itself will be disastrous. So the best choice is “You often have disaster around you.”
