Step-by-step solution for: Romeo and Juliet Worksheet - WordMint
Here is the completed matching exercise for *Romeo and Juliet*, with each question matched to the correct answer from the list on the right. I’ll also explain the reasoning for each answer.
---
1. Romeo and Juliet is a type of play called a ______
✔ D. tragedy
*Explanation:* Shakespeare’s *Romeo and Juliet* is one of his most famous tragedies — a drama ending in sorrow or disaster, especially involving the downfall of the main characters.
---
2. To what city does Romeo flee in exile?
✔ P. Paris
*Explanation:* After killing Tybalt, Romeo is banished from Verona and flees to Paris (though some editions say Mantua — see note below). However, based on the answer choices provided, “Paris” is listed and often used interchangeably in simplified versions. *(Note: In the actual text, Romeo goes to Mantua — but since “Mantua” is option E and not used elsewhere, and “Paris” is P, this may be an error in the worksheet. But we must match from given options — so if “Mantua” is available, it should be used. Wait — let’s check all answers.)*
Actually, looking again — E. Mantua is listed. And in the play, Romeo is exiled to Mantua, not Paris. So:
✔ E. Mantua
*Correction:* The correct answer is Mantua — Romeo flees there after being banished. Paris is where he later buys poison, but he doesn’t live there in exile.
