I really need Newsela answers for "Shakespeare's works have been translated and performed internationally since the 1600s" When did William Shakespeare's plays become popular around the world? How do you know?
A. They were very popular as soon as he started writing; "Shakespeare's plays were written during the late 1500s and early 1600s. At that time English audiences were becoming more aware of the world."

B. They grew to be more popular over the course of his life; "Shakespeare's plays were initially performed in England and Europe. By the end of his life, however, they appeared in all corners of the globe."

c. They were only popular after he died; "One translation of Shakespeare can seem like it was written in Germany around the 1800s. Another can sounds like it was written in the Soviet Union during the 1920s."

d. They grew suddenly popular after appearing on television; "Over the past 100 years, Shakespeare has been adapted to stage, film and television around the world."
