Correct Response: B.   In England during the Elizabethan period, many dramatic works were revivals of classical Greek plays. Other works of the period imitated, in particular, the choruses and deeply moralistic verse that were characteristic of Greek tragedy, and they revisited tragic themes related to human jealousy, betrayal, and revenge.   Most Elizabethan drama was designed to appeal to the general public and reflect a simple moral scheme; it did not seek to convey any political (A), religious (C), or social (D) ideology.
