Read the paragraph from a biography about Sonia Sotomayor.

After graduating from law school, most of Sonia’s classmates took high-paying jobs with prestigious law firms. But Sonia wanted real world experience and went to work as an assistant district attorney. In this position, Sonia knew she would gain valuable experience trying cases in the courtroom. Sonia’s first few cases were tough. She was a bundle of nerves and felt awkward and unsure of herself presenting before a judge. Never one to give up easily, Sonia did everything she could to gain confidence and improve her skills. Within six months, she was a rising star in the district attorney’s office. Far ahead of her peers, she was promoted from handling simple cases dealing with disorderly conduct to more serious felonies. Sonia placed facts and fairness above emotion and politics. She gained a reputation as a straight shooter who was not afraid to speak her mind in and out of the courtroom.

The remaining Greek scholars moved to Jundi Shapur. Jews joined them, as did a group of Christians called Nestorians, who had their own ancient and scholarly traditions. Persians added their voices, and one of their learned doctors set off for what is now India, to gather and translate the wisdom of the Hindus. The school created the very first teaching hospital in the world, a place where the sick were treated and young doctors learned their craft, as well as a fine observatory to track the heavens. At Jundi Shapur the best scholars west of China all gathered to think and study together.

Which of the following lines by Juliet foreshadows the end of the play? (5 points)

JULIET
I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
That almost freezes up the heat of life:
I'll call them back again to comfort me:
Nurse! What should she do here?
My dismal scene I needs must act alone.
Come, vial.
What if this mixture do not work at all?
Shall I be married then to-morrow morning?
No, no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there.
What if it be a poison, which the friar
Subtly hath minister'd to have me dead,
Lest in this marriage he should be dishonour'd,
Because he married me before to Romeo?
I fear it is: and yet, methinks, it should not,
For he hath still been tried a holy man.
How if, when I am laid into the tomb,
I wake before the time that Romeo
Come to redeem me? there's a fearful point!
Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault,
To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in,
And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?
Or, if I live, is it not very like,
The horrible conceit of death and night,
Together with the terror of the place,—
As in a vault, an ancient receptacle,
Where, for these many hundred years, the bones
Of all my buried ancestors are packed:
Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth,
Lies festering in his shroud; where, as they say,
At some hours in the night spirits resort;—
Alack, alack, is it not like that I,
So early waking, what with loathsome smells,
And shrieks like mandrakes' torn out of the earth,
That living mortals, hearing them, run mad:—
O, if I wake, shall I not be distraught,
Environed with all these hideous fears?
And madly play with my forefather's joints?
And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud?
And, in this rage, with some great kinsman's bone,
As with a club, dash out my desperate brains?
O, look! methinks I see my cousin's ghost
Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body
Upon a rapier's point: stay, Tybalt, stay!
Romeo, I come! this do I drink to thee.

Select one:
a. And shrieks like mandrakes' torn out of the earth,
b. For he hath still been tried a holy man.
c. And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?
d. Environed with all these hideous fears?
