Answer 1

Answer: B) We had a rough start, but I want our wedding to be a happy celebration.

Step-by-step explanation: In the given excerpt from "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare, we can see Theseus speaking to his wife-to-be Hippolyta, he tells her that although he conquered her using violence (according to the Greek myth, Theseus kidnapped Hippolyta after defeating the Amazons), he hopes to have a happy and big wedding celebration, so the correct answer is option B.
