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.

Answer:

I believe that the answer is A

Explanation:

it would be D, but the cat is not injured/harmed. It’s A, because trying to keep the small kitten alive is extremely challenging, and emotional, because as you can see in the text, he is immediately pack-bonded to the cat because of the death around him

Dennis_Churaev [7]

This question is missing the information in parenthesis. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

What would be the right choice of pronoun for the sentences below from the choices in the parenthesis?  Also what would be the correct antecedent from the choices in parenthesis?

1. Neither of the men has decided which team ________. (he prefers or they prefer) Antecedent (Neither, team, or men)

2. Each of the short story writers has a style of ______ own. (her or their) Antecedent (writer, style, Each)

Answer:

For number 1, the correct choices are "he prefers" (pronoun) and "Neither" (antecedent).

For number 2, the correct choices are "her" (pronoun) and "Each" (antecedent).

Explanation:

In colloquial language, we tend to not pay much attention to this, but when the subject of a sentence is "neither" or "each", we must use singular pronouns to refers to it. Since it is common for those words to be followed by plural nouns, we get easily confused, and end up using plural pronouns.

<u>1. Neither of the men has decided which team... --> Who has decided? Neither. Therefore, "neither" is the antecedent. Since it is singular, we must choose the singular option, "he prefers".</u>

<u>2. Each of the short story writers has a style of... own. --> Who has a style? Each. I know it sounds strange on its own, but "each" is the subject. Since it is singular, we must use "her", the singular pronoun, to complete the sentence.</u>
