Explanation:

1. For the first question: Shakespeare's cultural value is multifaceted, spanning art, language, social commentary, and global influence, making it hard to quantify or determine simply.
2. For the second question: After theaters were closed due to the plague, when they reopened, Shakespeare's works provided accessible content that filled a gap, driving initial theater popularity. Other options are inaccurate: his "spectacular" reputation grew over time, the ruler's attendance was not the initial driver, and they became icons later.
3. For the third question: Investments like productions, adaptations, and scholarly work amplify the reach and interpretation of Shakespeare's plays, directly enhancing their cultural value over time.

Answer:

1. False
2. It provided free content to new theaters after theaters had been shut down.
