a lady capulet
b juliet
c nurse
d peter
(b) what is the purpose of these types of comments?
a to embarrass juliet.
b to provide comic relief to the audience.
c no purpose, just cringe.
d to force the audience to confront their own discomfort with women expressing their sexuality.

Explanation:

Part (a)

In "Romeo and Juliet", the Nurse is known for her bawdy, sexually - themed comments and jokes. Lady Capulet is more formal, Juliet is the young, romantic protagonist, and Peter is a servant with a more minor role without such a characteristic.

In Elizabethan drama, such bawdy humor (like the Nurse's comments) is often used as comic relief. It's not mainly to embarrass Juliet, option C is incorrect as it has a purpose, and option D is too complex an interpretation for the primary purpose of such comic - style comments in a Shakespearean play.

Answer:

C. Nurse
