2. E. A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Written around 1595–1596. It was likely composed around the same time as Romeo and Juliet and Richard II.
3. D. Much Ado About Nothing: Written around 1598–1599. It was entered into the Stationers' Register in 1600.
4. C. Twelfth Night: Written around 1601–1602. It was composed near the middle of Shakespeare's career, close to Hamlet.
5. A. The Tempest: Written around 1610–1611. It is widely considered one of Shakespeare's last solo plays, belonging to his late romances.
