Question

Arianna wrote this sentence about Romeo and Juliet: The play wears the saggy burlap dress that is the insulting characterization of the fleeting passions of teenagers. Which best restates her key point?

Select one:

The stage directions that refer to costumes in the play are ugly.

The play is filled with teenagers who act in annoying ways.

The characterization of Juliet is that her dresses are not well-made.

The play has come to represent teenagers' unserious relationships.

Answer 1

D. The play has come to represent teenagers' unserious relationships.

Step-by-step explanation:

The original sentence compares the play to a saggy burlap dress, which is a metaphor. The metaphor implies that the characterization of the fleeting passions of teenagers in the play is unflattering and unattractive. Option D restates the key point by directly stating that the play has come to represent teenagers' unserious relationships, which is in line with the original sentence's metaphorical comparison. Options A, B, and C do not accurately restate the key point made in the original sentence.
