Question

read the excerpt from act ii, scene ii 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" is used. Steel is associated with qualities like reliability and loyalty. So Romeo is saying his man is loyal. The other options: "sharp wit" doesn't relate to steel's truthfulness, "hard personality" misinterprets the simile (it's about truth/loyalty, not harshness), and "pointed comments" also doesn't relate to the steel - based truthfulness simile.

Answer:

B. is a loyal servant.
