PART B: Which detail from the text best supports the answer to Part A? A "William Shakespeare is the most studied playwright in the world. All of his plays
have been translated into every major language and are performed more
frequently than those of any other playwright." (Paragraph 1)
B "He wrote these sonnets, as well as a good deal of his plays, in iambic
pentameter. This form of writing contains five metric feet, in which each foot
consists of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable." (Paragraph 5)
C. "Not only has Shakespeare shaped the English language but he's also had a
hand in almost every form of popular culture. From books to music to modern
theatre, Shakespeare has served as an inspiration." (Paragraph 7)
D. "Many people tend to think of Shakespeare as boring and outdated. His work is
known for its complexity, and his plays are published with a lot of footnotes
sometimes even translations!" (Paragraph 9)

Read this excerpt from i never had it made. "it's all that ought to count," he replied. "but it isn't. maybe one of these days it will be all that counts. that is one of the reasons i've got you here, robinson. if you're a good enough man, we can make this a start in the right direction. but let me tell you, it's going to take an awful lot of courage." he was back to the crossroads question that made me start to get angry minutes earlier. he asked it slowly and with great care. "have you got the guts to play the game no matter what happens? " "i think i can play the game, mr. rickey," i said. the next few minutes were tough. branch rickey had to make absolutely sure that i knew what i would face. beanballs would be thrown at me. i would be called the kind of names which would hurt and infuriate any man. i would be physically attacked. could i take all of this and control my temper, remain steadfastly loyal to our ultimate aim? which is the central idea of this excerpt?
