the king's decision.

i love romeo and xo

it is a!

not b because i don't see how this would make them look dangerous..

not c because that just doesn't make sense..

and not d because this too doesn't make sense, it does not really put the audience on edge in my opinion.

answer is a) romeo's statement that in staying to speak to juliet he is risking his life, leads the audience to worry about his safety.

can i see the painting?
