Answer 1

- He gives Juliet advice to help her situation. — Friar Laurence counsels Juliet and offers guidance about how to handle her secret marriage and the Paris match.
- He refers to Juliet as “daughter,” taking on a parental role. — He calls her "daughter" (e.g. "Hold, daughter...") and behaves like a guardian/mentor.
- He believes in faking death. — He devises and supports the plan to use a potion to make Juliet appear dead so she can be reunited with Romeo.

Not selected: "He acts before thinking" (that's a character flaw, not mentoring) and "He teaches her how to make a sleeping potion" (he gives her the potion and instructions, but does not teach her to make it).
