Which two of the following sentences from the article include central ideas of the biography? There is very little information about Shakespeare's childhood and virtually none about his education. He primarily used a metrical pattern consisting of lines of unrhymed iambic pentameter. These were graver than the comedies, but unlike tragedies they ended with reconciliation. What seems to be true is that William Shakespeare was a respected man of the dramatic arts who wrote plays, and acted in some, in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.

Explanation:

Biography, often referred to as bio, is a form of (usually) nonfictional literature that describes a person's life. It is one of the oldest literary forms. Biographies don't simply provide facts about different periods of an individual's life, such as childhood, education, work, relationships, and death. They include intimate details of the person's experience, and sometimes even the analysis of their personality.

The first and fourth statements about Shakespeare can be considered biographical as they provide information about his life. The second and third statements are about his literary work and tell nothing about his life, so they are not the answers we are looking for.
