Who wrote the plays Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet?

Christopher Marlowe
William Shakespeare
Ben Johnson
George Bernard Shaw

The correct answer is: William Shakespeare

William Shakespeare wrote the plays Romeo and Juliet and Hamlet. While Marlowe, Johnson, and Shaw were all famous playwrights during the same time period, none of them wrote these two specific plays. Marlowe was known for his play Doctor Faustus, Johnson for his play Volpone, and Shaw for his play Pygmalion. Therefore, B is the only correct answer.
