Answer:

Question 7 - B!

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey! In Question 7,\ we can use the process of elimination to determine the answers! So, let's see why or why not the possible answer choices could be right!

Question 7

A. A young girl is promised to be married to a much older man - Romeo and Juliet and West Side Story both have characters that are both quite young, while they do have an age gap, it is only 2 to 3 years and they are both teenagers.

B. Teenagers from feuding groups fall in love. - This seems to be the best answer as in Romeo and Juliet, the two lovers are teenagers are from feuding families, the Capulets, and Montagues, and in West Side Story, where the two lovers are teenagers from feuding sides with the Sharks and the Jets.

C. There are several sword-fighting scenes. - While this is true in Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story takes more of a modern approach to fights with punches, kicks, and the occasional knife was drawn.

D. A prince rules the land. - Again, while this is true within Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story has a chief that plays the modern role of the prince.

As I see it, Answer B seems to be the best, as it is the only answer that is correct in correlation to both West Side Story, and the original Romeo and Juliet.

Hope this Helps! :)
