The correct answers are A. Lillian Hellman, B. Arthur Miller, D. Clifford Odets, and F. Thorton Wilder

Explanation:

The twentieth century represented important changes in the field of theater and therefore in the literary works written by playwrights, during this period of time most playwrights aimed at changing the patterns used in the past and looking for new forms of theatre. In the U.S. this included playwrights such as Lillim Helman that wrote for Broadway and included political views in her plays; Arthur Miller who explored themes such as family, life and death in a innovative way through his plays; Clifford Odets who also wrote for Broadway and was one of the first author of this century and Thorton Wilder who won two Pulitzer Prizes. On the other hand, William Shakespeare plays belong to the 16th and 17th century and George L. Aiken plays belong to the 19th century. Thus, the four outstanding twentieth-century playwrights were Lillian Hellman, Arthur Miller, Clifford Odets, and Thorton Wilder.

the catholic church withhold people's access to the bible during the middle ages.

people could go to church and listen to the teachings, but it was absolutely forbidden to own and/or read the books of both the old and new testaments. it was also prohibited to translate the books (which where originally in biblical hebrew) to any other language.

this was done so the church could remain in control of what their teachings were and to enhance their importance and power, while also being able to judge people's actions through information that was unavailable for the general public.
