Question

read the excerpt from act i, scene i of romeo and juliet.
montague: many a morning hath he there been seen,
with tears augmenting the fresh mornings dew,
adding to clouds more clouds with his deep sighs:
but all so soon as the all-cheering sun
should in the furthest east begin to draw
the shady curtains from auroras bed,
away from light steals home my heavy son,
and private in his chamber pens himself,
shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out,
and makes himself an artificial night.
black and portentous must this humour prove
unless good counsel may the cause remove.
in this excerpt, romeo’s reaction to light illustrates his
○ tiring work schedule.
○ budding romance.
○ gloomy mood.
○ religious faith.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze Romeo's actions related to light. He "steals home" from light, "shuts up his windows, locks fair daylight out," and creates "artificial night." A tiring work schedule is not supported (no work details). Budding romance is incorrect as this is before he meets Juliet. Religious faith isn't shown here. His actions (avoiding light, creating darkness) reflect a gloomy mood.

Answer:

C. gloomy mood
