Read the excerpt from Act I, scene i of Romeo and Juliet.

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,




80

Canker’d with peace, to part your canker’d hate.
Which best paraphrases why the prince is angry with Capulet and Montague?

Their servants were left unattended on the street.
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.
