Question

Shakespeare was born in London in 1564. a. True b. False

Answer 1

It is true that Shakespeare was born in London in 1564, but they do not know the exact date that he was born. However, there is wide belief that he was baptised exactly on April 26, 1564.

Answer 2

The correct answer is : B: False. Shakespeare wasn't born in London - he was born in Stratford-upon-Avon and baptized there on 26 April 1564. His actual date of birth really remains unknown, but it is traditionally observed on 23 April, Saint Georges Day. This date, which can be traced back to an 18th-century scholar's mistake, has proved appealing to biographers, since Shakespeare died 23 April 1616. He was the third child of eight and the eldest surviving son.
