The answer is A. When they say "To flattering-sweet to be substantial" that means its too good to be true. It's so great it has to be a dream.

Answer:

A.This is so great that it must be a dream.

Explanation:

In Act 2 Scene II, we see Romeo attending the Capulet feast where he saw Juliet and fell in love with her. And to his great surprise, Juliet also confesses her love for him and agrees to marry him, "If your intentions as a lover are truly honorable and you want to marry me, send me word tomorrow." Romeo felt extremely excited and also at the same time finds it hard to actually believe that she would love him back. The passage "O blessed, blessed night! I am afeard. Being in night, all this is but a dream. Too flattering-sweet to be substantial” shows his unbelief about the situation and thinks that this must all be a dream.
