Q3 ..A scene from a shakespearean claasic. Which famous phrase originated from "this"???
"this" refers to the classic..and not the scene..
the most obvious if referred to the classic and not the scene could also be "love is blind"
Love is blind is a phrase whose origin can be traced back to "The two gentleman of verona" which was written and published well before "The Merchant Of Venice"..
