The most likely reason the author uses the <em>word hapless</em> to describe the king is A. A. It has a negative connotation, which suggests that the king is weak.

This is shown based on the given description that the prince was ready to consecrate and the king was weak and powerless and thus she told him to redeem his gifts.

<h3>What is a Connotation?</h3>

This refers to the tone used to describe a thing and can either be positive or negative and this shows the way readers view a character or situation.

Therefore, we can see that the use of the word hapless has a negative connotation as it suggests that the king is weak.

And this is shown based on the given description that the prince was ready to consecrate and the king was weak and powerless and thus she told him to redeem his gifts.

This is seen as the Queen is described as young and she is also further described as one with eyes filled with envious hate, so she treats the king with disdain as the Prince was about to be consecrated.

Answer:

B. The world focuses too much on outward appearances; one shouldn't try to live up to others' expectations.

Explanation:

T. S. Eliot's poem "The Love Songs of J. Alfred Prufrock" deals with the sadness and aloofness of a person amidst the 'busy' lifestyle of the new technological age. This dramatic monologue also involves the speaker Prufrock's inner thoughts at trying to reveal/ declare his inner feelings to his lady love but is unable to do so for his feeling of inferiority overtakes him.

The given lines show how men judge one another despite the achievements that the man may have. They will always find fault with one thing or another, like when Prufrock states <em>"My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,  My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin"</em> is overshadowed by their observation of how thin his arms and legs are. This shows how <u>the world chose to focus on outward appearances</u>, which the speaker tries to play down and rather focus on not what they say, or try to live up to that expectation. Rather, <u>one must live as one sees fit, ignoring others' expectations of what we should be. </u>

<em>Explanation: </em>

For Stray, the story ends with Doris’ father bringing the dog back – despite him not allowing Doris to keep it in the first place – after finding out that the dog pound is a cruel place even for an ant to live in</em>
