In Act V, Scene 2, Friar Lawrence discusses his plan to inform Romeo that Juliet is actually in a deep sleep that mimics death. Friar Lawrence sends his letter with Friar John to deliver it to Romeo, who is living in Mantua. When Friar John returns, Friar Lawrence asks him how Romeo responded to the letter. Friar John then informs Friar Lawrence that he was unable to visit Romeo and give him the letter because he was quarantined in a home during an outbreak of the plague.

The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...
