The correct answers are A. Lillian Hellman, B. Arthur Miller, D. Clifford Odets, and F. Thorton Wilder
Explanation:
The twentieth century represented important changes in the field of theater and therefore in the literary works written by playwrights, during this period of time most playwrights aimed at changing the patterns used in the past and looking for new forms of theatre. In the U.S. this included playwrights such as Lillim Helman that wrote for Broadway and included political views in her plays; Arthur Miller who explored themes such as family, life and death in a innovative way through his plays; Clifford Odets who also wrote for Broadway and was one of the first author of this century and Thorton Wilder who won two Pulitzer Prizes. On the other hand, William Shakespeare plays belong to the 16th and 17th century and George L. Aiken plays belong to the 19th century. Thus, the four outstanding twentieth-century playwrights were Lillian Hellman, Arthur Miller, Clifford Odets, and Thorton Wilder.
