For a quiz about Shakespeare, the questions are asked in terrible English.

20/20 great subject but the question are poorly structured and grammar and spelling was not of great concern to the writer.

Corwin 02, it has absolutely nothing to do with 'woke' and all to do with appeasing advertisers! It's a crazy policy to have on a website designed for adults. What's even crazier is the 17th question could have easily been rewritten from "Who is the name of the character who is driven to madness and eventually unalives herself by drowning herself in a river?" to "Which character is driven to madness, and eventually drowns herself in the river?" No need to 'unalive' or 'kill' anyone.
