1. A. traditional ways.

The contextual clues to help determine the meaning of conservatism are "forward-seeing" and "established". Since the playwright is described as being "forward-seeing", we know that he is doing something different. Also the word established is similar to traditional.

2. B. modeled on.

The sentence talks about this happening during a "realistic phrase" and talks about the theatre in Paris being famous. These two clues show us that emulated most likely means modeled on.

3. The Globe Theatre was closed after the Puritan protest, while the Mosow Art Theatre still operates.

Simply put these statements are true about both of the theaters. This makes it the best answer.

4. table of contents, how the book is organized

The table of contents is usually found after the title page. It lists the different sections of the book and usually what page number each section begins on. The index is found at the back of the book. The publishing page and afterword are also not found in the front of the book.

5. D. Artistic Renaissance

The Globe Theatre is a place where plays were performed. Drama is a form of art. Since it is art, it would best be in a chapter about the artistic renaissance.

6. Because women did not act during Shakespeare's time, men played all female parts.

This is a true statement. This is one of the reasons that there were so few female parts in the play. Often older female parts were sources of comedic relief because an older gentleman would have to play the part. Since his presence in a dress would already be comedic, playing up the comedy worked well. An example of this character is the nurse in Romeo and Juliet. Younger female roles, like Juliet, would often be played by boys. Their voices had not yet hit puberty so it was easier for them to sound like girls.

7. They were willing to suspend realism for the sake of entertainment.

Shakespeare and other playwrights knew that these elements were not readily available for the stage which is why there are very few stage directions. They did not count on scenery or tricks to make their plays enjoyable.
