The correct answer is: D: William Shakespeare was not knighted by Queen Elizabeth I for his contributions to literature and the arts. All other statements are true. Shakespeare is indeed considered the greatest English-language playwtight. Some of his most important plays are: Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, Othello, King Lear, A Midsummer Night's Dream, etc. He also composed poems, and created about 1700 words by changing verbs into adjectives, nouns into verbs, connecting words never before used together, adding prefixes and suffixes, and devising words wholly original. His plays were about history and romance, as well as other topics.
