How does Friar Lawrence respond to Romeo's new love interest? * He rejoices that Romeo has found someone who loves him He scolds Romeo He fears for Romeo's life

He scolds Romeo.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Romeo and Ju liet" revolves around the tragic love story of two star crossed lovers who were compelled to their deaths to stay loyal to each other. This story remains one of the most famous stories of true love.

Romeo was previously in love with Rosalind who did not love him back. So, when he saw Ju liet, the daughter of his family's arch-enemy, and she reciprocates, he felt it is true love and decided to be with her, even deciding on marrying her. Friar Lawrence, a friend, and confidante of Romeo, at first scolded him for easily replacing one woman with another. He chided him, commenting "Young men’s love then lies Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes [. . .] The sun not yet thy sighs from heaven clears, Thy old groans ring yet in my ancient ears". He finds it shocking that Romeo could easily move from loving Rosalind and pining for her to completely in love with Ju liet and even deciding on marriage.

Thus, the correct answer is Friar Lawrence scolded Romeo when he first heard of Romeo's new love interest.

d is the best answer for this question.
