C not too sure though

Answer 2

This excerpt of Romeo and Juliet tells us that Capulet is in no rush for his daughter to marry. The correct answer is C.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to these lines, Capulet feels good about the idea of his daughter getting married, but he doesn't sound desperate either. The feeling that this excerpt creates in the reader's mind is a quiet one. Capulet agrees with her being married and this shows in the line that says: "And like her most whose merit most shall be; / Which, on more view of many, mine", but, at the same time, he is in no rush.
