Read the excerpt from act i, scene i of romeo and juliet.
montague: many a morning hath he there been seen,
with tears augmenting the fresh morning’s dew,
adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs:
but all so soon as the all-cheering sun
should in the furthest east begin to draw 120
the shady curtains from aurora’s bed,
away from light steals home my heavy son,
and private in his chamber pens himself,
shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out,
and makes himself an artificial night. 125
black and portentous must this humour prove
unless good counsel may the cause remove.
in this excerpt, romeo’s reaction to light illustrates his
a. tiring work schedule.
b. budding romance.
c. gloomy mood.
d. religious faith.

Read the selection below and answer the question. an open boat by alfred noyes o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 

 'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.
 look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,
 the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.' 


 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses, 
 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat, 
 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover 
 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.
 'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,
 he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold. 
 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
- 'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.

 'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -
 o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way! 
 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness, 
 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day. which choice best describes the conflict in this poem? the winds are rocking the boat. a man is thrown into the sea. a woman doesn’t want to let go of her dead lover. someone is crying in the darkness.
