Answer 1

3. Mercutio’s death will lead to other tragic events.

Step-by-step explanation:

William Shakespeare's romantic tragedy "Romeo and Juliet" shows how a family's hatred for each other led to the deaths of their children and how the love of a young couple was able to bring about the peace between them. But this also led to the fateful death of the young lovers.

The character of Mercutio was killed in Act 3 scene i by Tybalt, who had been looking for a chance to lay hands on any Montague. He was a close family friend of the Capulets, the sworn enemy of the Montagues. Mercutio's death led to the series of events to take place, it is like the catalyst for the whole plot. This dialogue of Romeo in this scene foreshadows the tragic events that will follow in the coming scenes.
