Question

ead the excerpt from act ii, scene iii of romeo and juliet.
romeo: i warrant thee my man’s as true as steel.
the simile in the excerpt means that romeo’s man
○ has a sharp wit.
○ is a loyal servant.
○ has a hard personality.
○ makes pointed comments.

Explanation:

The simile "as true as steel" in the excerpt from Romeo and Juliet is used to describe Romeo's man. Steel is often associated with qualities like reliability and faithfulness. A loyal servant is someone who is trustworthy and true to their master, which aligns with the meaning of the simile. The other options: "has a sharp wit" relates to intelligence/wordplay, not truthfulness; "has a hard personality" refers to demeanor, not loyalty; "makes pointed comments" refers to speech style, not truthfulness. So the correct interpretation is that the man is a loyal servant.

Answer:

B. is a loyal servant.
