In what year did William Shakespeare die?

  1. 1602

  2. 1593

  3. 1616

  4. 1588

The correct answer is: 1616

William Shakespeare died in 1616, which is 24 years after 1593, 18 years after 1602, and 28 years after 1588. None of the other options align with the known death year of William Shakespeare, making them incorrect choices. Therefore, the correct answer is C 1616.
