Read the excerpt from act v, scene iii of romeo and juliet. montague: alas! my liege, my wife is dead to-night; grief of my son’s exile hath stopp’d her breath. what further woe conspires against mine age? what is the best paraphrase of the underlined text? what other pain must i suffer through as i get older? what is the reason only older people experience pain? what does getting older have to do with suffering? what has caused me to feel as if i am getting older?

The correct answer is A. what other pain must I suffer through as I get older?

Explanation:

In this excerpt, Montague is grieving because his son's exile has brought pain to his wife and she is "dead to-night". These events are emotionally devastating for Montague, and asks himself what is yet to come. Are there any other woes to come, or is this it? When sorrows come, they come not in single spies, but in batallions.

he agrees with the monk's positions.

the sentence that best describes the tone of the passage from the radio broadcast compared to the passage from the book is b. the radio broadcast has a more surprised tone.

consider the text evidence: in the passage from the book, the description is more matter-of-fact. it is simply describing the things resembling little grey snakes, but there is no urgency in the description. on the other hand, in the passage from the radio broadcast, there is definetely urgency (you can tell from the expression used, "good heavens", which clearly indicates surprise.)
