Question

read the excerpt from act i, scene v of romeo and juliet. capulet: you must contrary me! marry, ’tis time. to make the most impact on a modern audience, what is the best way to adapt the underlined phrase? options: forsooth, it is time; indeed, it’s time; it doth be time; it’s time to get married

Explanation:

To adapt the phrase "marry, 'tis time" for a modern audience, we need to use contemporary English. The original phrase is in Elizabethan English. "It's time to get married" is the most straightforward and modern rephrasing that conveys the same meaning clearly. The other options either use archaic language (like "forsooth", "doth") or are less clear in conveying the action of marriage as directly as "It's time to get married".

Answer:

D. It's time to get married
