It was a (A)________ day, for yesterday was April 23rd; that is St. George‘s Day – the saint of England – and that is the day on which Shakespeare was born, and also the day on which he died.

But one of the things I liked best was the garden behind the house, because in it are growing all the flowers, trees and plants that are (G)________ in Shakespeare’s plays.
