Read the passage from Sugar Changed the World. In the 1100s, the richest Europeans slowly began to add more flavor to their food
—because of a series of fairs and wars. A smart count in the Champagne region of France guaranteed the safety of any merchant coming to sell or trade at the markets in the lord's lands. Soon word spread, and the fairs flourished. Starting around 1150, the six Champagne fairs became the one place where Europeans could buy and sell products from the surrounding world—a first step in connecting them to the riches and tastes beyond. Fortress Europe was slowly opening up. What evidence from the passage best supports the inference that Europe was dangerous for merchants to travel to before the 1100s? "because of a series of fairs and wars" "guaranteed the safety of any merchant" "the one place where Europeans could buy and sell products" "a first step in connecting them to the riches and tastes beyond"
Romeo first sees Juliet in Act 1 Scene 5. during the Capulet's party in which Juliet was supposed to meet Paris for the first time. Romeo's first impressions of Juliet are clearly about her beauty. He is completely taken aback by how beautiful she is. His first statement upon seeing her is "O, she doth teach the torches to burn bright!" (A.1, s5, line 46). This tells us that he is infatuated with her beauty.
