Read the lines from Act I, scene v of Romeo and Juliet.Romeo: Have not saints lips, and holy palmers too?Juliet: Ay, pilgrim, lips that they must use in prayer.Romeo: O! then, dear saint, let lips do what hands do;They pray, grant thou, lest faith turn to despair.

Romeo compares himself to a pilgrim and Juliet to a saint, then suggests that their lips should do what their hands do: touch in prayer. He uses this religious imagery to persuade Juliet to kiss him, so the lines reveal Romeo’s persuasive, flirtatious character. Choice C is tempting because he mentions prayer, but prayer is part of his playful argument for a kiss.
