In Act III, Scene I, of "Romeo and Juliet", by William Shakespeare, after he is wounded Mercutio says to Romeo, "Why the devil came you between us? I/was hurt under your arm." The option that best paraphrases Mercutio's word is B. Why did you interfere? Your arm allowed him to stab me. Romeo has refused to fight Tybalt and Mercutio takes his place. When Romeo tries to separate them Tybalt stabs Mercutio under Romeo's arm.
