The first man to swim across the English Channel was Captain Matthew Webb in 1875. The
passage below is adapted from an eyewitness account of his swim. Read it carefully, and then
answer the questions that follow.
A more beautiful morning than that of the 24th August last could not be conceived. No wind,
no waves, but little tide, and the sea presenting that rarely calm appearance as if oil had been
poured upon the waters. At four minutes before one o'clock, Captain Webb, well smothered
in porpoise grease, dived in from the end of the Admiralty Pier. It was a beautiful, bright,
sunshiny day; and as he swam away from the pier, his broad shoulders shooting through the
water, and gleaming in the light of the sun, he very much resembled some large seal or huge
fish, not merely in smell, but in appearance.

Read the excerpt from act iv, scene iv of romeo and juliet. capulet: good faith! ’tis day: the county will be here with music straight, for so he said he would. [music within.] i hear him near. nurse! wife! what, no! what, nurse, i say! 30 re-enter nurse. go waken juliet, go and trim her up; i’ll go and chat with paris. hie, make haste, make haste; the bridegroom he is come already: make haste, i say. [exeunt.] 35 this scene is an example of dramatic irony used to create suspense since the audience knows that the musicians will not arrive on time. capulet approves of the match to paris. romeo is already married to juliet. the nurse will be unable to rouse juliet.
