true
false

Explanation:

• Question 6: Shakespearean tragedies typically feature a flawed hero (like Macbeth with his ambition), there are interfering outside forces (e.g., the witches' prophecies in Macbeth), and a struggle between good and evil. The endings are not happy, and conflicts are not easily resolved.
• Question 7: A topic is a single word or short phrase that tells what a story is about (e.g., "love", "war"). A theme is a sentence or statement that reveals the lesson or message the author wants the reader to learn (e.g., "Love can conquer all", "War has far - reaching consequences"). So the statement in Question 7 is incorrect.

Answer:

• Question 6: a flawed hero, interfering outside forces, and a struggle between good and evil
• Question 7: False
