Answer:
Lord Capulet compromises that if Paris manages to win Juliet's love, then he will let them marry.
Explanation:
Paris has shown great interest in Juliet and has been seeking the approval of her father, Lord Capulet repeatedly. What happens is that Juliet is still too young and her father does not want her to get married yet, since she is still his little girl.
In turn, Lord Capulet also does not want to reject the offer of Paris since he is aware that he would be the best suitor of his daughter and is even related to the prince of Verona.
In response to Paris's request, Lord Capulet finally agrees that Paris go to the ball and try to conquer Juliet. If he wins her love, then he will give them his blessing for the two of them to marry.

This makes sense because attempting to become a professional in an area that interests you is a logical path to take.
