Tim has prepared the following thesis statement for his essay on Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet:

Although Juliet’s actions may be interpreted as rushed and immature, she is capable of making mature, rational decisions.

Which of these lines spoken by Juliet in the play support the thesis statement?

A.How camest thou hither, tell me, and wherefore?
The orchard walls are high and hard to climb,
And the place death, considering who thou art,
If any of my kinsmen find thee here.
B. Thou know'st the mask of night is on my face,
Else would a maiden blush bepaint my cheek
C. I have no joy of this contract to-night:
It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden;
Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be
D. How art thou out of breath, when thou hast breath
To say to me that thou art out of breath?
The excuse that thou dost make in this delay
Is longer than the tale thou dost excuse.

Answer: C. I have no joy of this contract to-night: It is too rash, too unadvised, too sudden; Too like the lightning, which doth cease to be.

Step-by-step explanation: From the given lines spoken by Juliet in "Romeo and Juliet" by William Shakespeare, the one that support Tim's thesis that Juliet is capable of making mature, rational decisions, is the corresponding to option C, because in this lines she is recognizing that the promises of love she and Romeo have made to each other, are too sudden, which demonstrate that she can be mature and rational.
