14.) Read the excerpt from Act I, scene i of Romeo and Juliet.

And hear the sentence of your moved prince.

Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word,

75

By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,

Have thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets,

And made Verona's ancient citizens

Cast by their grave beseeming ornaments,

To wield old partisans, in hands as old,

80

Canker'd with peace, to part your canker'd hate.

If ever you disturb our streets again

Your lives shall pay the forfeit of the peace.

What will happen if the Capulets and Montagues disturb the peace again?

They will be banished from Verona.

They will have to pay a fine.

They will be punished by death.

They will have to have a duel.
