Mercutio uses puns to make fun of Nurse’s appearance. Nurse uses puns to request her fan from Peter. Nurse uses puns to mock Benvolio and Mercutio.

Answer 1

Mercutio uses puns to make fun of Nurse’s appearance.

Step-by-step explanation:

There's not much to explain. The text literally says:

Mercutio: Good Peter, to hide her face; for her fan’s the fairer face.

If you didn't get that -- then basically, Mercutio said the Nurse's fan looks better than her face. He must have thought it was a pretty punny and clever response.
