Read the dialogue from act ii, scene iv of romeo and juliet.

romeo: thou wast never with me for anything when thou wast not here for the goose.

mercutio: i will bite thee by the ear for that jest.

romeo: nay, good goose, bite not.

mercutio: thy wit is a very bitter sweeting; it is a most sharp sauce.

romeo: and is it not then well served in to a sweet goose?

which word from the conversation best the reader understand the mood of the scene?

“bitter,” because this is an angry conversation
“jest,” because this is a teasing conversation
“served,” because this is a loving conversation
“bite,” because this is a frightening conversation
