THe correct answer is D

Explanation:

D- It’s likely that many playwrights from Shakespeare’s time had a better grasp on the English language, but their work was never properly preserved.

The reason is that Shakespeare, despite of having limited vocabulary knew how make impressive use of the simpler words that he knew.

It all lies in how you use them rather than how much you use them. Words have a way of changing what and how you say things just by an inch of expression.

Many writers at that point might have better vocabulary but they lacked the art of using it appropriately.
