1.I believe the correct answer is: D. The character is destroyed.

In a Shakespearian tragedy, the typical outcome for a flawed character is to be destroyed at the end of the play. The destruction of these characters is the justice for their wrong doings. For example, Richard III is at the end punished for killing his brother and trying to kill his nephews in order to become a king. Macbeth and Claudius also have the same destiny as Richard III.

2. I believe the correct answer is: A. common flaw.

Shakespeare's tragedies tend to include a common flaw, which represents an undesirable quality that many antagonist characters have. Common flaws of such characters are indifference, arrogance, obsessiveness, selfishness etc. For example, Richard III, Macbeth and Claudius are indifferent toward their victims, obsessed with the throne and selfish.

3. I believe the correct answer is: D. religious themes

Before Renaissance, there was the era of Medieval Ages in literature which lasted for almost 1.000 years, and was known as the Dark Age. Medieval Age was the age of religion and utmost devotion to God, so all the literary work written was in religious context. Therefore, before Renaissance, virtually all dramas focused on religious themes.

4. I believe the correct answer is: You only get one life, so make sure it's a good and happy one.

Humanism represents a philosophical and ethical stance which was born from oppression of the Medieval Age. Humanism emphasizes the values of human beings, individuality and satisfaction with oneself before all. The main motto of humanism was carpe diem (seize the day), and therefore, the statement humanist would most likely agree is: You only get one life, so make sure it's a good and happy one.
