Read the excerpt from act iii, scene i of romeo and juliet.

benvolio: i pray thee, good mercutio, let’s retire:
the day is hot, the capulets abroad,
and, if we meet, we shall not ’scape a brawl;
for now, these hot days, is the mad blood stirring.

mercutio: thou art like one of those fellows that when he enters the confines of a tavern claps me his sword upon the table and says, ‘god send me no need of thee! ’ and by the operation of the second cup draws him on the drawer, when, indeed, there is no need.

benvolio: am i like such a fellow?

mercutio: come, come, thou art as hot a jack in thy mood as any in italy; and as soon moved to be moody, and as soon moody to be moved.

which detail from the excerpt most foreshadows that benvolio and mercutio will fight the capulets?

benvolio’s observation that it is hot outside
mercutio’s comment that benvolio is moody
benvolio’s urgent request that they go home
mercutio’s story about the man in the tavern

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
