What choice does Juliet set before Romeo?

Juliet sets two choices before Romeo:

1. He can take her life: Juliet tells Romeo that if he does not love her, he should kill her. She says, "If thou dost love, pronounce it faithfully. Or if thou think I am too quickly won, I'll frown and be perverse and say thee nay, So thou wilt woo; but else, not for the world. In truth, fair Montague, I am too fond, And therefore thou mayst think my havior light. But trust me, gentleman, I'll prove more true Than those that have more cunning to be strange. I should have been more strange, I must confess, But that thou overheard'st, ere I was ware, My true-love passion. Therefore pardon me, And not impute this yielding to light love, Which the dark night hath so discovered."

2. He can marry her: If Romeo does love Juliet, she asks him to marry her. She says, "If that thy bent of love be honorable, Thy purpose marriage, send me word tomorrow, By one that I'll procure to come to thee, Where and what time thou wilt perform the rite, And all my fortunes at thy foot I'll lay And follow thee my lord throughout the world."
