Read the dialogue from act ii, scene iv of romeo and juliet.

romeo: thou wast never with me for anything when thou wast not here for the goose.

mercutio: i will bite thee by the ear for that jest.

romeo: nay, good goose, bite not.

mercutio: thy wit is a very bitter sweeting; it is a most sharp sauce.

romeo: and is it not then well served in to a sweet goose?

which word from the conversation best the reader understand the mood of the scene?

“bitter,” because this is an angry conversation
“jest,” because this is a teasing conversation
“served,” because this is a loving conversation
“bite,” because this is a frightening conversation

"bitter," because this is an angry conversation.

the answer is B, a jesting conversation as romeo is playfully referring to Mercutio as a goose

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
