Question

Read the paragraph on William Shakespeare.

Many students study William Shakespeare’s plays today, though Shakespeare lived nearly 400 years ago. In his day, Shakespeare’s plays were performed in London at small playhouses and at large, open-air amphitheaters such as the Globe Theater. Audiences in the late 1500s eagerly attended the performances of the bard’s comedies, tragedies, and histories (Kline 110).

This writing requires a works cited page because

Shakespeare lived so long ago.
researched facts are included.

Answer 1

Researched facts are included.

Reason: the paragraph uses a parenthetical citation (Kline 110), which shows information was taken from a source. Any time you use researched information or cite a source, you must include a works cited entry. Shakespeare’s age or how long ago he lived is not a reason by itself.
