Answer:
Assuming chaplinway gave the correct answer option for each letter, the answer is C
Explanation:
The first few passages describe why William Shakespeare's writing still matters today despite written over 400 years ago. The paragraphs around the middle describe how Shakespeare's writing influences us in the modern-day by summarizing the events happening during the Elizabethan era and his writing. Then, the writer mentioned that Shakespeare invented over 1700 words that we use today; otherwise, those words don't exist in modern English. His writing also relates to popular culture, which also relevant to today's life. All of these are the main reason why we continue to read his plays.
Both choices A and B are incorrect because those two choices only summarize the central idea of the last paragraph, not the passage as a whole. Choice D is incorrect because the entire passage is about why we still read Shakespeare's play despite written over 400 years ago. Also, this passage doesn't mention how modern TV and films recycled stories in the past. Rather, the author focused on the legacy of William Shakespeare and how his writing inspired us today.
