In this passage from Hamlet, act IV, scene VII, King Claudius tells Laertes why he is not taking action against Polonius’s murde

rer. Which lines convey the idea that the Danish people love Hamlet and that accusing him of murder would generate bad public opinion for Claudius?
LAERTES: It well appears. But tell me

Why you proceeded not against these feats,

So criminal and so capital in nature,

As by your safety, greatness, wisdom, all things else

You mainly were stirr'd up


KING: O, for two special reasons,

Which may to you, perhaps, seem much unsinow'd,389

But yet to me they are strong. The Queen his mother

Lives almost by his looks, and for myself—

My virtue or my plague, be it either which—

She is so conjunctive to my life and soul,

That, as the star moves not but in his sphere,I could not but by her.


The other motive,

Why to a public count I might not go,

Is the great love the general gender bear him;

Who, dipping all his faults in their affection,

Work, like the spring that turneth wood to stone,

so that my arrows,

Too slightly timber'd for so loud a wind,

Would have reverted to my bow again,

But not where I have aim'd them

These lines are correct:

<span>The other motive,
Why to a public count I might not go,
Is the great love the general gender bear him;
Who, dipping all his faults in their affection,
Work, like the spring that turneth wood to stone,
so that my arrows,
Too slightly timber'd for so loud a wind,
Would have reverted to my bow again,
But not where I have aim'd them

Here, Claudius is clearly saying that he cannot accuse Hamlet of anything because the people in Denmark love their prince, so even if he did try to accuse him, nobody would believe him anyway. This is why he doesn't want to accuse Hamlet of Polonious's murder like that, but rather reveal the secret in other ways.

Which passage from the Declaration of Independence most clearly reflects
OleMash [197]

Answer:

O A. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it.

Explanation:

The Enlightenment was a political-cultural movement that expressed the needs and desires of bourgeois society of the eighteenth century, the "century of lights." This movement denounced errors and vices of the Old Regime, paving the way for various social movements. The Enlightenment preached the freedom of the individual and exalted the use of reasoning, and they were against any tyranny of the government and believed that the people should overthrow any system that tried to hinder their freedoms.

For this reason, we can conclude that among the options given in the question, the one that most clearly reflects the Enlightenment principle of addressing a broken social contract is the letter A.

Which two forms of rhetoric are used in the example?
goldfiish [28.3K]

The correct answer is D. Pathos and logos

Explanation:

In this excerpt, the author uses emotional language such as "living in extreme poverty and unable to feed themselves or their families" because this type of detail moves the audience and makes people feel sorrow for Africans. This appeal is known as the pathos appeal or emotional appeal.

Besides this, the author relies on numbers and statistics to describe the situation in Africa, this can be seen in "300 million residents" or "One out of six". This use of numberS is based on logic and reasoning, which is part of the logos appeal or appeal to the logic. Thus, the correct answer is D.
