Which lines from Act III, scene iii of Romeo and Juliet show Friar Laurence believes Romeo should be grateful for his nonfatal punishment? Choose three correct answers.

Friar Laurence contrasts banishment with the death sentence Romeo might have received. “A gentler judgment vanish’d from his lips” points to the prince sparing Romeo’s life, and “This is dear mercy” explicitly calls the punishment merciful. “Be patient, for the world is broad and wide” encourages Romeo to see that life outside Verona is still possible, rather than despairing over his banishment.
