Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England. The Elizabethan theater as we know it develops slowly. In 1562 the play Gorboduc, the first English play to include blank verse, is performed in front of the queen at the Inner Temple in London. This is written by two gentlemen, Thomas Sackville (the future earl of Dorset) and Thomas Norton, and leaves a lasting impression. Its tale of a kingdom torn between two heirs has great significance for the audience of the day. Other plays follow, drawing on classical themes as well as on ancient British and medieval history, written by (among others) John Heywood, John Pickering, and Lewis Wager. A sign of their success is the construction in 1567 of the first purpose-built theater, the Red Lion, built by John Brayne in Whitechapel. Which event happened first? The Red Lion was built by John Brayne. Thomas Sackville became the earl of Dorset. John Pickering and Lewis Wager wrote new plays. Gorboduc was performed in front of the queen.

Gorboduc was performed in front of the queen.

Explanation:

Ian Mortimer's "The Time Traveler's Guide to Elizabethan England" provides an insight into the life of England during the Elizabethan age. This book focuses mainly on the period of William Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth I.

As given in the passage, the speaker reveals that "Gorboduc, the first English play to include blank verse" was performed before the queen. This was in 1562, after which several similar plays were written by numerous writers, including John Pickering and Lewis Wager. Moreover, the speaker mentioned, within parenthesis, that the writer of the Gorbudoc play Thomas Sackville would later become "the future earl of Dorset". This shows that the play came before the earldom.

Then, the construction of a new theater, "The Red Lion", was in 1567.

So, looking at the sequence of the years the events happened, we can conclude that the first event was the performance of the play "Gorbudoc".

Thus, the correct answer is the last/ fourth option.

Explanation:

the play romeo and juliet was one of the most famous love tragedies ever written. this love story unfortunately had a fatal ending. many people argue over why the lovers had died, was it over free will or fate?  

the death of romeo and juliet was partially because of free will. the fact that romeo and juliet got married knowing that there was a bitter feud between their families, the montague and capulet’s. this feud brought on many problems, such as the murder of tybalt by romeo. juliet knew that this might be a problem for her and romeo. juliet had said: “what’s in a name”? which explains her ill fate of being a capulet and romeo being a montague. when romeo tells his servant “ ay, mine own…show more content…

i believe they had died over the love they had for each other, strong enough that their lives could end so suddenly if something horrible had come between them, and that was exactly how it happened. this tragedy occurred within five days of the two meeting, they experienced love at first sight, got married and quickly were dead. free will became a part of this when juliet decided to take friar laurence’s advise in inhaling a potion that will make people assume she is died but will awake in 42 hours prier to when she took it. when romeo had heard the news that juliet was dead, he assumed it was true, and responded with the line; “well juliet, i will lay with thee tonight”. to me this line indicated how he feels for juliet by dying in her will. the fact that free will didn’t take control of the story; it left fate to be the murder of the lovers. fate first kicked in when their eyes met at the capulet party. when romeo and juliet spoke, their words had powerful contentment; they had such a strong feeling for one another that they could lay in each other’s arms forever. their happiness didn’t last long; there were many reasons for this, for example; the marriage lord capulet arranged between paris and juliet. i believe that the plot of the play thus far leads the audience to believe that the deaths were a result of fate. the last act will determine once and for all if it is fate or free will. romeo again challenges fate.
