Read the excerpt from Act I, scene i of Romeo and Juliet.
Which best paraphrases why the prince is angry with
Capulet and Montague?
Albo
Three civil brawls, bred of an airy word,
75
By thee, old Capulet, and Montague,
Have thrice disturb'd the quiet of our streets,
And made Verona's ancient citizens
Cast by their grave beseeming ornaments,
To wield old partisans, in hands as old,
Canker'd with peace, to part your canker'd hate.
O Their servants were left unattended on the street.
O They were supposed to come see him on this day.
Their families have recently started three street
fights.
They were supposed to leave the town of Verona.
