Explanation:

To determine which lines show Romeo's emotional conflict, we analyze each option:

• "O heavy lightness! serious vanity!": Uses oxymorons (heavy/lightness, serious/vanity) to show conflicting emotions about love.
• "Mis - shapen chaos of well - seeming forms!": Describes love as a chaotic mix of good - looking forms, reflecting internal conflict.
• "Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!": Oxymorons (feather/lead, bright/smoke, cold/fire, sick/health) highlight conflicting feelings about love.
• "Should, without eyes, see pathways to his will.": This is more about love's blindness in general, not Romeo's personal conflict.
• "Yet tell me not, for I have heard it all.": Shows disinterest, not conflict.
• "Dost thou not laugh?": A question to a friend, not related to internal conflict.

Answer:

• O heavy lightness! serious vanity!
• Mis - shapen chaos of well - seeming forms!
• Feather of lead, bright smoke, cold fire, sick health!
