Explanation:

• Elizabethan drama (e.g., works by Shakespeare) often dealt with non - religious (secular) topics like love, power, and human nature, so "Plays address secular themes" is correct.
• Elizabethan actors aimed to depict real - life human emotions and experiences to connect with the audience, making "Actors portray emotions that reflect life experiences" accurate.
• Elizabethan drama typically had complex, round characters rather than flat characters representing single concepts, so the "flat characters" option is incorrect.
• Elizabethan drama did not typically place Biblical characters in present - day settings; it drew from various sources but not this specific anachronistic setup, so that option is incorrect.

Answer:

1. Plays address secular themes.
2. Actors portray emotions that reflect life experiences.
