Answer: c) Hatred causes people to lose what they love.

In this excerpt, Capulet and Montague have understood what tragedies their hatred has brought to both families. Montague argues that Juliet's sacrifice and loyalty will never be forgotten, and wants to erect a monument to her memory. Capulet similarly states that Romeo deserves a monument as well, and that the two shall lie together. Both characters reflect on how hatred have caused them to lose the people they loved the most.
