Answer

(a) Romeo refuses to fight Tybalt because he has just married Juliet, Tybalt's cousin, and considers him family now.(b) Romeo indirectly causes Mercutio's death by stepping between Mercutio and Tybalt, leading to Mercutio being wounded by Tybalt's sword. Mercutio then dies, and Romeo later avenges his death by killing Tybalt.(c) The Prince could have ordered the punishment of death for Romeo, considering his involvement in the ongoing feud between the Capulets and Montagues. However, the Prince orders Romeo's banishment from Verona as punishment for killing Tybalt.
