Read the excerpts from Ovid’s "Pyramus and Thisbe" and Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet.

"Pyramus and Thisbe"

They owed
their first encounters to their living close
beside each other—but with time, love grows.
Theirs did—indeed they wanted to be wed,
but marriage was forbidden by their parents;
yet there's one thing that parents can't prevent:
the flame of love that burned in both of them.

Romeo and Juliet

Two households, both alike in dignity,
In fair Verona, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean.
From forth the fatal loins of these two foes
A pair of star-cross'd lovers take their life;
Whose misadventured piteous overthrows
Do with their death bury their parents' strife.

What statement best describes the relationship between these works?

Both works show a marriage denied; only Shakespeare offers background.
Both works show young people in love; only Shakespeare suggests limitations.
Both works show young people in love; only Shakespeare describes the setting.
Both works show a marriage denied; only Shakespeare mentions families.

Both works show a marriage denied; only Shakespeare offers background.   Thus, option "A" is correct.

Both excerpts focus on the profound love between a man and a woman and how this is opposed by their families as the lovers cannot get married.

In the first excerpt, this is shown in "but with time, love grows" which shows the growing love between Pyramus and Thisbe, and "but the marriage was forbidden by their parents" which shows they cannot get married; similarly, in the second excerpt, the sections "A pair of star-crossed lovers" and "Two households...From ancient grudge" shown two lovers and the fight between their families that stop them from getting married or being together. In this context, both excerpts show a marriage denies.

However, in the second excerpt, there are more details about the rivalry between the two families "Two households, both alike in dignity,  In fair Verona," and Shakespeare explains the background, which was a previous dispute "From ancient grudge break to new mutiny".

Thus, option "A" is correct.

Read the excerpts from “Take the Tortillas Out of Your Poetry” and “Speaking Arabic.”

My friend had concluded that if he took his language and culture out of his poetry, he stood a better chance of receiving a fellowship. He took out his native language, the poetic patois of our reality, the rich mixture of Spanish, English, pachuco and street talk which we know so well. In other words, he took the tortillas out of his poetry, which is to say he took the soul out of his poetry.

At a neighborhood fair in Texas, somewhere between the German Oom-pah Sausage Stand and the Mexican Gorditas booth, I overheard a young man say to his friend, “I wish I had a heritage. Sometimes I feel—so lonely for one.” And the tall American trees were dangling their thick branches right down over his head.
