Friar Laurence: Hence from Verona art thou banished. Be patient, for the world is broad and wide. 20 Romeo: There is no world without Verona walls, But purgatory, torture, hell itself. Hence banished is banish'd from the world, And world's exile is death; then ‘banished,' Is death mis-term'd. Calling death ‘banished,' 25 Thou cutt'st my head off with a golden axe, 40 And smil'st upon the stroke that murders me. Which statement best describes Romeo's reaction to the news that he will be banished from Verona? He shares his fear of a violent death. He confesses his regret for his crime. He expresses outrage about life without Juliet. He voices gratitude for the merciful sentence.

He expresses outrage about life without Juliet.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" revolves around the fateful love story of two young lovers whose lives were cut short because of their family's opposition. But through this forbidden love, they were able to bring peace between their feuding families and also became the symbol of everlasting and true love.

As given in the excerpt taken from Act 3 scene iii of the play, the scene shows the moment Friar Laurence relays the sentence/ punishment that Romeo was given for his act of killing Tybalt, Juliet's cousin. He was to be banished from Verona, an act which he terms "purgatory, torture, hell". He did not wish to be out of Verona for it will mean away from Juliet, his love.

Thus, the correct answer is the third option.
