Question

read the excerpt from act iii, scene ii of romeo and juliet.
friar laurence: romeo, come forth; come forth, thou fearful man;
affliction is enamourd of thy parts,
and thou art wedded to calamity.
what is the meaning of the phrase \thou art wedded to calamity\?
○ you have not had enough disaster in your life.
○ you often have disaster around you.
○ your marriage will be a complete disaster.
○ your confusion is the cause of many disasters.

Explanation:

To determine the meaning, analyze the phrase "thou art wedded to calamity". "Wedded to" implies a close, ongoing association. "Calamity" means disaster. So the phrase suggests Romeo is often surrounded by disaster. Let's check options:

• First option: Opposite of the meaning (says not enough disaster).
• Second option: Matches the idea of frequent disaster around him.
• Third option: The phrase isn't about the marriage being a disaster, but Romeo's association with calamity.
• Fourth option: The phrase doesn't attribute disasters to confusion.

Answer:

B. You often have disaster around you. (assuming the options are labeled A - D with this as the second option; if original labels differ, adjust to the correct identifier and text as per the options' order, e.g., if the second option is labeled B, then "B. You often have disaster around you")
