When reading some of the most rich and beautiful speeches in Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, when one stresses the singsong cadence of iambic pentameter, the lines take on an almost simpleminded, childish quality.

A. when one stresses the singsong cadence of iambic pentameter, the lines take on an almost simpleminded, childish quality
B. stressing the singsong cadence of iambic pentameter gives the lines an almost simpleminded, childish quality
C. if one stresses the singsong cadence of iambic pentameter, it gives the lines an almost simpleminded, childish quality
D. the simpleminded, childish quality of some lines results from the singsong cadence of iambic pentameter
E. the singsong cadence of iambic pentameter, sounds almost simpleminded and childish

Official Explanation



B. Choice B is the most economical and clear version of the original. Choices A and C are wordy, containing the unnecessary phrases when one and if one. Choices D and E omit the notion of stressing and so change the meaning.
