which sentence from the article best supports the idea that shakespeare’s cultural value is created and sustained by many people and activities rather than by a single market price?
\the most recent sale of a shakespeare folio raised £2.5m (1m less than sotheby’s estimate).\
\the plays’ stories of family dynamics, political conflict and personal tragedy, expressed in eloquent metaphorical poetry, provided the material for new works of political satire, children’s books, and heart - breaking romances.\

\find it in your granny’s school prize edition of the complete works or on the british library’s digitisation of the original quartos.\

Explanation:

For the first question, we need a sentence stating Shakespeare's cultural value cannot be determined. The phrase "fool's game" for sourcing evidence of this value directly matches the central claim.
For the second question, we need a sentence showing his cultural value comes from many people/activities, not a single price. The option listing performers, commentators, printers, editors, adaptors, educators, clubs, and fan-groups directly illustrates multiple contributors to his value.

Answer:

First question: "So sourcing hard evidence on the cultural value of Shakespeare is a fool's game, if a fun one."
Second question: "The work of performers and commentators, printers and editors, adaptors and educators all added value to the old plays and that value was consolidated and secured by amateur clubs and fan-groups."
