Answer 1

The answer is that Juliet is willing to defy her family and risk her life to be with Romeo. This is because she believes that he may try to kill her and does not waiver in knowing this. She still believes in love and will risk certain death to be with Romeo.

Answer 2

I believe the answer is: A) Juliet is willing to defy her family and risk her life to be with Romeo.

Romeo's and Juliet's family are rival families that always at odds with one another. Juliet perceive that friar try to kill her because he persuaded her to pretently drink a potion. Friar true purpose is to help Juliet Defy her family's will by falsifying her death.
