Read the excerpts from ovid’s "pyramus and thisbe" and shakespeare’s romeo and juliet.

"pyramus and thisbe"

they owed
their first encounters to their living close
beside each other—but with time, love grows.
theirs did—indeed they wanted to be wed,
but marriage was forbidden by their parents;
yet there's one thing that parents can't prevent:
the flame of love that burned in both of them.

romeo and juliet

two households, both alike in dignity,
in fair verona, where we lay our scene,
from ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
from forth the fatal loins of these two foes
a pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
whose misadventured piteous overthrows
do with their death bury their parents' strife.

what statement best describes the relationship between these works?

a) both works show a marriage denied; only shakespeare offers background.
b) both works show young people in love; only shakespeare suggests limitations.
c) both works show young people in love; only shakespeare describes the setting.
d) both works show a marriage denied; only shakespeare mentions families.

"when did you come, rahmun? " i asked him. "last evening," he said, "i was released from jail." the words struck harsh upon my ears. i had never before talked with one who had wounded his fellow, and my heart shrank within itself when i realised this; for i felt that the day would have been better-omened had he not turned up.
