<span>It is either past perfect tense or pat progressive.
Example:
past perfect--- I had cooked when they brought the food.
past progressive---I was cooking when they brought the food.
Had cooked is past perfect, and was cooking is past progressive. Had cooked indicates cooking was finished, and wascooking indicates it was going on or in progress when something else happened (in the simple past).</span>
Answer:
The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
It is important to state that the original opening scene from Hamlet does not contain the "stage directions" included in this excerpt ("Elsinore, a platform before the castle"); and what is more, there is no explicit allusion to a place before the action actually starts.
Having said that, the correct answer is A because Bernardo asks <em>"Who's there?</em>" and Fransisco returns <em>"Nay, answer me; stand, and unfold yourself"</em> (meaning, you tell me who you are and identify yourself). <u>This interaction can only be possible if it is very late at night, since the characters imply that they can's see each other by asking who is approaching.</u> Once they have identified themselves they talk about to things:
- "'Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed, Fransisco"
="The clock says it's twelve, so go to bed" This is an explicit reference to the time in which this scene takes place, so now we can be certain that it is very late at night.
2. "it's bitter cold, and I am sick at heart"
= "It's very cold and I feel depressed" This is an explicit reference to the weather being cold.
The correct answers here are A) A parenthetical citation is very short and is contained within the text, C) A parenthetical citation gives the author's last name and a page reference for the source material, D) A parenthetical citation is always in parentheses, and G) A comma is not needed between the author's last name and the page reference.
