Question 6 • GA-Literature and Composition I
Read the excerpt from Act I, scene ii of Romeo and Juliet.Benvolio: Tut! man, one fire burns out another’s burning,One pain is lessen’d by another’s anguish;Turn giddy, and be helped by backward turning;One desperate grief cures with another’s languish: 45Take thou some new infection to thy eye,And the rank poison of the old will die.
Answer
A
Romeo’s heartache will be healed by going to the party.
B
Romeo’s heartache will go away if he meets another girl.
C
Romeo’s heartache will lessen as he gets older.
D
Romeo’s heartache will be healed by a potion.
Explanation
Benvolio compares one pain easing another and advises Romeo to “take thou some new infection to thy eye.” He means Romeo should fall for someone new, which he thinks will make Romeo’s existing heartache fade. So the best choice is that Romeo’s heartache will go away if he meets another girl.
