Read these lines from act i, scene ii of romeo and juliet and answer the question.

capulet:
but saying o'er what i have said before.
my child is yet a stranger in the world.
she hath not seen the change of fourteen years.
let two more summers wither in their pride
ere we may think her ripe to be a bride.

paris:
younger than she are happy mothers made.

capulet:
and too soon marred are those so early made.
earth hath swallowed all my hopes but she;
she's the hopeful lady of my earth.
but woo her, gentle paris, get her heart;
my will to her consent is but a part.
and, she agreed, within her scope of choice
lies my consent and fair according voice.

how does this encounter between capulet and paris reinforce the message that parents' authority to make decisions for their children was expected?

by suggesting that capulet's repetition of directives to his daughter causes a rift between them.
by reinforcing the tension between the generations through paris' contrary response.
by reminding readers that brides had little control over whom or at what age they could marry.
by sharing with readers how elders' rights in determining their children's future are flawed.
