Who was friends with lawremcr

John

Explanation:

Father John is a Franciscan friar and a friend of father Lawrence. Father Lawrence trusts John so much that he sends him to Mantua to deliver an important message for Romeo. John is supposed to let Romeo know that Juliet´s death had been staged so they could be together. However, before reaching his destination, father John is held up in a quarantined house, so Romeo never gets the message.

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."
