Benvolio tells Romeo that Rosaline will be there, and Romeo can look at her all he wants when he is there, and he can wallow in his misery at being rejected by Rosaline.
Benvolio was planning to go to check out the girls. He talks Romeo into coming because Rosaline, the girl who refuses to listen to Romeo's protestations of love, will be there, partying it up. Romeo's intention is to hang around Rosaline, but Benvolio is hoping that some other girl who is at the party will make Romeo forget about her. This is a plan which is more successful that Benvolio can imagine.
His cousin Benvolio is the answer your teacher expects. And it's wrong. Benvolio wants Romeo to go to the party to look at other girls so he won't be moping about Rosaline. That does not persuade Romeo in the least. What persuades Romeo to go is that Rosaline will be there. He says so: "I'll go along, no such sight to be shown, but to rejoice in splendor of my own."
Let's go crash it!
