Today, young people have less contact with senior citizens than in years past. what a shame! one reason for this situation is that families often live far apart. in the past, aging family members were commonly cared for by their kids. as a result, grandkids and grandparents had more opportunity to spend time together. nowadays, senior citizens often live in assisted living communities when they need care. instead of their families taking care of them, medical professionals do. the result is that children have less opportunity to spend time with senior citizens. more importantly, children are denied the wisdom of their grandparents. grandparents also experience negative effects by this separation. they are being denied the company of youth. in turn, senior citizens can lose touch with the current world.

Select the correct text in the passage. which two lines in this excerpt from shakespeare's romeo and juliet foreshadow the tragic fate of romeo and juliet? friar laurence: so smile the heavens upon this holy act, that after hours with sorrow chide us not! romeo: amen, amen! but come what sorrow can, it cannot countervail the exchange of joy that one short minute gives me in her sight: do thou but close our hands with holy words, then love-devouring death do what he dare; it is enough i may but call her mine. friar laurence: these violent delights have violent ends and in their triumph die, like fire and powder, which as they kiss consume: the sweetest honey is loathsome in his own deliciousness and in the taste confounds the appetite: therefore love moderately; long love doth so; too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.
