Answer 1

Romeo doesn’t receive Friar Laurence’s message because there is a plague outbreak and Friar John was quarantined.

Answer: Option D

Step-by-step explanation:

While Friar John was on the way, he decided to visit a house which had some sick people when he was on the way to give the letter to Romeo. He was quarantined on ground of suspicion that even he might be affected with the plague and the letter could be the main reason why the plague is spreading.

After he was released he returned the letter to Friar Laurence stating that he was not able to give the letter. Friar Lawrence is totally mood off and realizes that Romeo if not knowing Juliet's unjust death, no one can recover her from the grave when she wakes up.
