Answer 2

Answer:

B). Based on true events, Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's most well-known and popular history plays.

Explanation:

'Macbeth' is regarded as one of Shakespeare's greatest tragedies that carry its significance even today. It is based on the true account of Macbeth, the king of Scotland, along with Macduff and Duncan in Holinshed's Chronicles(1587) which is a part of the history of Scotland and for which it is often considered as "Scottish play" due to its Scottish setting. However, the story narrated in the play is extensively varied and stands far apart from real Macbeth yet the execution events are still associated with the execution Of Henry James in Gun Powder plot. Thus, it could be concluded that it is based on true events and undoubtedly, Shakespeare's most renowned and famous history plays.
