Answer 1

Answer: C. Shakespeare used the English language the way a painter uses colors.

Explanation: Shakespeare's works have strong themes that run through each piece. And again, these themes are still relevant today – love, death, ambition, power, fate, free will, just to name a few. So Shakespeare's works are timeless and universal. That also makes them relatable. Painters can leave the same lasting impression through their works.
