Question

read the excerpt from act iv, scene ii of romeo and juliet
capulet now, afore god! this reverend holy friar,
all our whole city is much bound to him.
juliet nurse, will you go with me into my closet,
to help me sort such needful ornaments
as you think fit to furnish me to - morrow?
lady capulet no, not till thursday; there is time
enough.
capulet go, nurse, go with her. well to church to -
morrow exeunt juliet and nurse
this is an example of dramatic irony because the
audience knows that
capulet is not prepared for the wedding festivities
the nurse is unwilling to help juliet with her dress
juliet does not intend to follow through with the
wedding
lady capulet does not approve of the match to
paris

Explanation:

In Romeo and Juliet, Juliet has already taken Friar Laurence's potion to fake her death and avoid marrying Paris. The audience knows this plan, while the Capulets (including Capulet and Lady Capulet) are unaware. This creates dramatic irony as the Capulets are preparing for a wedding that Juliet has no intention of going through with. Capulet is preparing for the wedding (so A is wrong), the nurse is helping Juliet (so B is wrong), and Lady Capulet approves of the match to Paris (so D is wrong).

Answer:

C. Juliet does not intend to follow through with the wedding
