Answer 1

Answer: A) theaters had closed due to plague

Step-by-step explanation:

In the early 1600s, the plague had shut down most things - including theaters. People did not understand where it came from or what it caused, so they were scared. Due to a lack of people going to theaters, Shakespeare turned to poetry as a new way to express his writing and thoughts.
