Breaks, arise, envious moon, is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Romeo and Juliet is a play written by William Shakespeare, who was an English poet, writer, among many others. It tells the story of the Capulet and the Montague and how the main characters (who name the play and belong to different families) cannot be together due to this rivalry.

In the excerpt, the indicated words provide a whimsical and lighthearted tone. These words were chosen to create this effect, because if they were replaced with others (such as "what light comes through your window?" or "get up, fair sun") the interpretation could be different, even if the meaning were the same.

D) soft, light, fair sun
