Answer:

If you mean the excerpt from the Act II of “Romeo and Juliet”, by Shakespeare, said by Chorus, I believe that the correct answer is second statement: It reveals the conflicting feelings Romeo has for Juliet and his family.

 

Based on the excerpt from Act II of “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, the main purpose of this prologue, said by chorus, is to present Romeo’s conflicted feelings for Juliet and her family and to recap past events that happened in the play ( Romeo forgot about his previous love, Rosaline, by seeing Juliet). The chorus also creates an ominous mood that hints at the conflicts of the play (“Tempering extremities with extreme sweet”).

What aspect of romantic writing did realist writers disapprove of?
Zolol [24]

The realist art is based on the concrete and real things and places. Its characters are ordinary people with the everyday language used. Its only interest is to represent the recent or contemporary life and events.

Because of that, it has no approval for the romantic way of representing things, since it goes against its believes. Romantic writers are interest in history or legends, with a formal and inflated language, made up, exotic or mysterious settings and extravagant characters. Making so letter D correct, realist writers disapprove romantics for its "fanciful treatment of material".
