Answer
A
What man art thou, that, thus be-screen’d in night,So stumblest on my counsel?

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!
D
At what o’clock to-morrowShall I send to thee?

Explanation

The lines “But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!” create a romantic mood through Romeo’s poetic description of Juliet as radiant and beautiful. Comparing her to the sun suggests admiration and warmth. The other choices focus on identifying Romeo, asking how he entered, or arranging a meeting.
