How were William Shakespeare’s writings influenced by humanism?

Answer
A
He wrote both plays and poems.
B
He developed thousands of new words.
C
He included religious topics in his literature.
D
He wrote stories on everyday topics in society.

Explanation

Humanism emphasized human experiences, individual character, and concerns in everyday life. Shakespeare’s plays and poems often explored people’s relationships, ambitions, conflicts, and roles in society, so choice D, writing about everyday topics in society, best shows humanist influence. Writing both plays and poems or creating new words does not specifically identify humanism.
