Answer: The right answers are A) “let us sport us while we may” and C) "at once our time devour.”  

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the term <em>carpe diem</em> is originally a Latin expression that can be literally translated as "seize the day," and that has come to be interpreted as an appeal to take advantage of the present, due to the fleeing nature of time. "Let us sport us" can be translated as let us amuse ourselves and have fun, whereas "at one our time devour" is an exaggeration that emphasizes the desire of the speaker to seize the day to the fullest.

Hamlet then speak his most famous soliloquy in line 64-98. what is he saying? how does he seem to be feeling
Alina [70]
What Hamlet is contemplating in his most famous soliloquy (To be or not to be) is the nature of life and what he should do with it. He is thinking about whether he should end it all (kill himself) or continue living and fighting for his revenge. His father was killed by his own brother and he wants to avenge the king's death but he is unsure how to do it.

He is torn between these two decisions, leading him to be stuck and ultimately do nothing for a while because he is indecisive. On one hand, he can go after Claudius who murderer his father, but on the other hand, he understands that that is meaningless and it won't bring him anything. However, in the end, he finally makes a decision - to go through with his plan.
