Explanation:

• The main plot centers on the core, central narrative of the work.
• Parallel plots are secondary storylines that intersect or relate to the main plot but are not the primary focus.

1. Romeo and Juliet's love story is the central, core narrative of the play, so it is the main plot.
2. Friar Laurence's direct assistance is integral to the main couple's journey, so it is part of the main plot.
3. Paris's desire to marry Juliet is a secondary storyline that creates conflict around the main plot, making it a parallel plot.
4. Romeo's unrequited love for Rosaline is an introductory secondary thread that sets up his character before the main love story, so it is a parallel plot.

• Romeo and Juliet's love story: Main plot
