Sagot :

Answer:

Romeo's servant is supposed to bring a rope ladder to the Nurse.

Explanation:

And stay, good Nurse. Behind the abbey wall

Within this hour my man shall be with thee

And bring thee cords made like a tackled stair,

Which to the high top-gallant of my joy

Must be my convoy in the secret night.

The lines above are spoken by Romeo in scene 4 of Act 2. As we know, Romeo and Juliet fall in love with each other during a party which Romeo attended uninvited. They belong to rival families whose field has lasted for decades, and whose hatred is quite sanguinary. Therefore, for the two lovebirds to meet, they must devise plans and ask for the help of those whom they trust. Juliet's Nurse is one of those people. In this scene, Romeo is telling her one of his servants will bring her "cords made like a tackled stair", that is, a rope ladder. He wants them to arrange the ladder so that he can climb the walls to Juliet's house and visit her in secret.
