Answer 1

What did Juliet do? B.She sent the nurse to speak with Romeo.

In the passage she says she "sen[t] the nurse...perchance she cannot meet him." These clues tell you that she sent the nurse to speak to Romeo (him).

What did the nurse do? B. She agreed to this request.

Because Juliet says the nurse promised to return, we can infer that the nurse did indeed agree to Juliet's request.

What motivated Juliet to make this request? A.Her desire to marry Romeo

We know that Juliet is waiting to hear news of Romeo's arrangements for their marriage. Juliet's eagerness and desire to marry Romeo is shown in these lines as she is impatient for the nurse to return with the news.

What motivated the nurse to go on this quest? C. She cares about Juliet's happiness.

We know that the nurse and Juliet are close. The nurse is the only person who Juliet confides in regarding her love for Romeo. Also, the nurse does not dissuade Juliet from marrying Romeo at this point in the play. Her loyalties lie in her desire to see Juliet happy rather than to the Capulet name, since she is helping Juliet arrange a marriage with a Montague.
