Read the excerpt from the prologue of Romeo and Juliet. Chorus: 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. Which words are connotations of the underlined word? Check all that apply. insult resentment anger conflict bitterness

Answer 1

Answer:

Resentment, bitterness.

Explanation:

The word "grudge" means holding some sort of resentment against someone. It is used in a negative sense.

In the given context, the word is used to describe the situation or relationship of the two families of Capulets and Montagues in William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet". And so, considering that the underlined word is "grudge", we can safely assume that the word connotes "resentment, bitterness" etc.
