Capulet: But saying o’er what I have said before:

My child is yet a stranger in the world,



10


She hath not seen the change of fourteen years;

Let two more summers wither in their pride

Ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.

Which is the best paraphrase of Capulet’s lines?


a Juliet will marry you after she has had her fourteenth birthday.

b Juliet is old enough to be a wife, and she will be married in the summer.

c Juliet is a stranger to you, so you should get to know each other first.

d Juliet is too young and not ready to be married for another two years.
