Analyze the question and character motivation

The question asks which line supports the inference that Juliet will actively pursue her interest in Romeo. We need to find the line where Juliet takes initiative or shows active curiosity regarding Romeo's identity.

Evaluate the options

• "His name is Romeo, and a Montague, The only son of your great enemy." — This is spoken by the Nurse, not Juliet, and simply provides factual information.
• "Prodigious birth of love it is to me, That I must love a loathed enemy." — This is Juliet lamenting the unfortunate timing and circumstance of her love, rather than showing an active pursuit.
• "Good pilgrim, you do wrong your hand too much." — This is Juliet speaking directly to Romeo during their first meeting, reacting to his touch rather than showing an intent to pursue him further.
• "Come hither, Nurse. What is yond gentleman?" — This line shows Juliet taking active initiative to find out who Romeo is, demonstrating her immediate interest and her pursuit of information about him.
