Where were Shakespeare’s earliest plays performed?

The Globe

Explanation:

Many of Shakespeare's plays were first performed at the Globe, although his plays were performed at other theatres and many playwrights wrote for the Globe.

(The Globe, which opened in 1599, became the playhouse where audiences first saw some of Shakespeare's best-known plays. In 1613, it burned to the ground when the roof caught fire during a performance of Shakespeare's Henry VIII. A new, second Globe was quickly built on the same site, opening in 1614. )

(d) rivers.

explanation:

civilizations developed around rivers because their waters provided places to hunt and fish. also, as the rivers flooded, the lands around them became fertile. this allowed them to support farming. this is especially true of the nile river, which flooded the same time each year.

i believe the answer is d. it was not uncommon for people to faint or even convulse at these high-energy meetings.
