Read the passage. All students should complete some type of post-secondary education after high school graduation. Setting this goal and reaching it prepares students for patterns of lifelong goal-setting and teaches them some very important life lessons. People who don’t set personal goals are like rafts being adrift at sea. They never know where they are or where they are going. Goal-setting teaches students that having a set destination gives their lives purpose and structure. Goals motivate them to turn their thoughts, dreams, and ideas into reality. They learn new things and how to accomplish their goals. Students who stay true to their goals also learn that some things are worth waiting for. The key? Keeping the personal ship on course. Which statement best expresses the claim? Having a specific goal is like having a life raft on a journey.
It is important for students to continue their education after high school.
Reaching a destination is more important than having a goal.
It is necessary that students strive to graduate from high school.

i love romeo and xo

it is a!

not b because i don't see how this would make them look dangerous..

not c because that just doesn't make sense..

and not d because this too doesn't make sense, it does not really put the audience on edge in my opinion.

a makes the most sense, romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety. obviously if he says that if he stays, he will be at risk, so of course this makes the audience worry for his safety!

answer is a) romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety.
