What is the most accurate paraphrase to the following lines of Benvolio to Mercutio: "Go, then, for 'tis in vain/ To seek him here that means not to be found"?

• Romeo wants us to continue looking for him so that we can protect him in case the Capulets find him first.
• It is pointless to search for Romeo when he clearly doesn't intend to be found.
• Go to bed, Mercutio, and I'll continue to look for my best friend.
• Juliet will never find Romeo no matter how hard she tries because it's pitch black out here.

• There is danger that Juliet will, just like Rosaline, become too dependent on Romeo.
• An uncaring look or a cruel word from Juliet would be far more hurtful than a sword fight with a capulet.
• Romeo isn't scared to fight Tybalt: he just wants some action.
• Juliet has a knife, and Romeo is afraid she'll shank him if he doesn't come back.
