Question

read the excerpt from act ii, scene iii of romeo and juliet.
nurse: now, afore god, i am so vexed, that every part about me quivers. scurvy knave! pray you, sir, a word; and as i told you, my young lady bade me inquire you out; what she bid me say i will keep to myself; but first let me tell ye, if ye should lead her into a fools paradise, as they say, it were a very gross kind of behaviour, as they say: for the gentlewoman is young; and, therefore, if you should deal double with her, truly it were an ill thing to be offered to any gentlewoman, and very weak dealing.
which word from the passage best describes the overall tone?
○ vexed
○ gross
○ young
○ weak

Explanation:

To determine the overall tone, we analyze the Nurse's dialogue. She says "I am so vexed" and her words show frustration/irritation. "Gross" refers to behavior, "young" describes Juliet, "weak" describes dealing. "Vexed" (annoyed/frustrated) matches her tone.

Answer:

A. vexed
