Answer 1

Selected:
- “their stolen marriage-day” — directly names the secret marriage, a hidden act that sets later tragedy in motion.
- “then comes she to me” — implies private, secret confiding with Friar Lawrence (Juliet seeking a hidden plan).
- “for it wrought on her / The form of” — refers to the potion’s effect (making Juliet appear dead), part of a secret scheme.

Not selected:
- “not so long as is a tedious tale” — unrelated to secrecy.
- “For whom, and not for Tybalt, Juliet pin’d” — shows Juliet’s feelings but not a secret act.
