Mynheer Vandedendur had approached Candide introducing himself as the master of a large sea vessel.

In an ongoing negotiation to help transport Candide to Venice in Italy, Candide hastily agrees (without bargaining to the sum of 10,000 piasters.

This action was Candides' mistake for no sooner had he agreed to that amount did the disguised Dutch Skipper up the fees to 30,000 piasters for the Dutch skipper estimated that Candide's sheep carried much treasure.

In another serious fail, Candide pays the fare, all of it in advance, while two of his sheep were loaded aboard. And somehow, the Dutch Skipper manages to sail away without Candide.

The correction option from the group of answer choices, therefore, is option D.

Which statement is true about the events depicted in Shakespeare's Julius Caesar?

C. The events actually took place over the course of several years, not over a short time as Shakespeare suggests.

Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" is heavily based on Plutarch's "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans." In "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans", Plutarch shows that the events took place over the course of some years, but that sort of format would have been impossible for a 3 hour play. So Shakespeare had to change it to be over a short period of time.
