Answer: by discouraging a hasty course of action

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question:

Read the excerpt from Act II, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet.

Romeo: We met we woo'd and made exchange of vow,

I'll tell thee as we pass; but this I pray,

That thou consent to marry us to-day.

Friar Laurence: Holy Saint Francis! what a change is here;

Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear, 70

So soon forsaken? Young men's love then lies

Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes.

Jesu Maria! what a deal of brine

Hath wash'd thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline;

How much salt water thrown away in waste, 75

To eason love, that of it doth not taste!

How does Friar Laurence support the archetype of mentor in the excerpt?

a-by offering religious teaching and insight

b-by telling a story of his own youth

c-by discouraging a hasty course of action

d-by criticizing a wasteful use of resources

Romeo was so much in love with Rosaline at the beginning of the play but was later hurt when he knew that he couldn't be with her. This was rememberes by Friar Laurence and was therefore shocked that Rome claims to love Juliet more.

As a mentor, he was only trying to prevent the lovers from rushing and thereby making a mistake. His claim was that Romeo has not been together with Juliet for long to really have so much love her as he believed that Romeo loves her because she is beautiful.
