Question 1 is about the following passage.

Shakespeare is considered one of the most iconic figures not only in British literature, but also in all of literature written in English. But why is this the case? Why is Shakespeare so special?

Well, one of the reasons that Shakespeare is so special is because of his use of language. Shakespeare was a master of wordplay. He created funny and touching dialogue with his excellent use of words. He was a poet as well as a playwright. He knew how to write using poetic meter. His words are beautiful, meaningful, often funny, and always carefully put together. Shakespeare was also a skilled storyteller. His plays tell fascinating stories that are full of interesting ideas. All of his plays tell stories with different kinds of characters. He wrote tragedies to make people cry and comedies to make them laugh. Many of Shakespeare's plays have morals and lessons, and they give audiences things to think about.

The story of Romeo and Juliet is a good example. Two young lovers die because their families have been fighting for years. They have been fighting for so long that no one can really remember why! The fighting results in the death of two innocent young people. Through these tragic deaths, Shakespeare proves that family's grudges are pointless.
