Read the excerpt from Act I, scene ii of Romeo and Juliet.Benvolio: At this same ancient feast of Capulet’s,70Sups the fair Rosaline, whom thou so lov’st,With all the admired beauties of Verona:Go thither; and, with unattainted eyeCompare her face with some that I shall show,And I will make thee think thy swan a crow.
Answer
A
If you go to the party you will see that Rosaline is, in fact, the most beautiful girl in Verona.
B
Compare Rosaline with other girls from Verona and then decide whether she is worthy of your love.
C
There are many girls in Verona who are just as beautiful and desirable as Rosaline.
D
Once you see other beautiful girls at the party, you will see that Rosaline is not so special.
Explanation
Benvolio urges Romeo to compare Rosaline with the other beautiful women at the feast using an “unattainted eye,” or an unbiased view. He says the comparison will make Romeo think his “swan” (Rosaline) is a “crow,” meaning she will seem less special beside the others. Choice D best captures this idea.
