Read the passage from i know why the caged bird sings.
in those tender mornings the store was full of laughing, joking, boasting and
bragging. one man was going to pick two hundred pounds of cotton, and another
three hundred. even the children were promising to bring home fo' bits and six bits.
the champion picker of the day before was the hero of the dawn. if he
prophesied that the cotton in today's field was going to be sparse and stick to the
bolls like glue, every listener would grunt a hearty agreement.
the sound of the empty cotton sacks dragging over the floor and the murmurs of
waking people were sliced by the cash register as we rang up the five-cent sales.
if the morning sounds and smells were touched with the supernatural, the late
afternoon had all the features of the normal arkansas life. in the dying sunlight the
people dragged, rather than their empty cotton sacks.
brought back to the store, the pickers would step out of the backs of trucks and
fold down, dirt-disappointed, to the ground. no matter how much they had picked, it
wasn't enough. their wages wouldn't even get them out of debt to my grandmother.
not to mention the staggering bill that waited on them at the white commissary

Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
