Read the excerpt from Act I, scene ii of Romeo and Juliet.

Capulet: But saying o'er what I have said before:

My child is yet a stranger in the world,

She hath not seen the change of fourteen years;

Let two more summers wither in their pride

Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.

Which is the best paraphrase of Capulet's lines?

A. Juliet will marry you after she has had her fourteenth birthday.

B. Juliet is old enough to be a wife, and she will be married in the summer.

C. Juliet is a stranger to you, so you should get to know each other first.

D. Juliet is too young and not ready to be married for another two years.
