The answer is: He is excitable and quick to anger.

Explanation for each option:

  1. He loves to read.

    • This option is incorrect. There is no indication in Act 1 Scene 1 of "Romeo and Juliet" that Tybalt has a particular interest in reading. The scene focuses more on his behavior and temperament rather than his hobbies or interests.
  2. He is a low-key, easy-going person.

    • This option is incorrect. Tybalt is portrayed as quite the opposite of a low-key, easy-going person. His actions and words in the scene suggest that he is aggressive and confrontational.
  3. He is excitable and quick to anger.

    • This option is correct. In Act 1 Scene 1, Tybalt's behavior clearly shows that he is excitable and quick to anger. When he encounters Benvolio, who is trying to keep the peace, Tybalt immediately challenges him to a fight, demonstrating his hot-headed nature. His famous line, "What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word, As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee," underscores his aggressive and fiery disposition.
