Answer:

1. B) Mercutio

2. A) Friar Laurence

3. D) Prince Scalus

4. C) Lord Capulet

Explanation:

The feud between the Montagues and the Capulets causes great pain to all of Verona. However, the love between Romeo and Juliet might be able to reunite the fighting families. This is Friar Laurence's hope, but not all characters think the same. Lord Capulet refuses to fix things with the Montagues, and he wants Juliet to marry Paris. Mercutio is mad at the situation and believes the families to be responsible for his death. Finally, Prince Scalus is responsible for banishing Romeo, and towards the end he feels guilty for not intervening in the situation earlier.
