Answer 1

A: It shows his death, which would be the end of his life/biography

Answer 2

As read through each of the answers, you are looking for clues as to time lines and/numerical order.  When you think about a life, one usually starts with a birthday.  B is an introduction into the life of Shakespeare telling us when and where he was born.  C tells us of his next accomplishment at 20, and D continues on with his other accomplishments.  Retirement and death is usually the conclusion to one's life and career, so A would be the best choice.
