Excerpt from Act III, Scene III of Shakespeare's Hamlet
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

C) send Hamlet to England with Rosencrantz and Guildenstern

Explanation:

This conversation takes place after the "mouse trap" play Hamlet had set for Claudius.

Now aware that Hamlet knows the truth about the death of his father, Claudius decides to act quickly and send Hamlet away under false excuse, planning his servants, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, to kill him there.

From the lines:

"Therefore prepare you;

I your commission will forthwith dispatch,

And he to England shall along with you."

we see that Claudius plans to send Hamlet to England, together with two of his servants.

Independent clauses ,dependent clause
hram777 [196]

The independent clauses are the ones conveying a full meaning and/or preceded by a coordinate preposition, as opposed to the dependent ones.

Independent clauses:

  • "The seventh graders held a dance that night, and the eighth graders saw a play."
  • "Isaac Newton described the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration, and he made discoveries in optics and mathematics."
  • "Nikki has learned some computer coding, but she also wants to study graphic design."
  • "The Jayhawks are a favorite in today's game, so a trip to the playoffs could be in their future."

Dependent clauses:

  • "Even though they were exhausted from their long day."
  • "To name just a few of his contributions to science."
  • "Which is being taught at the community center this winter."
  • "After a huge victory last week."

<h3>What is an independent clause?</h3>

An independent clause contains a subject and a predicate, and it can be preceded by a coordinate conjunction. The coordinate conjunctions are:

  • For
  • And
  • Nor
  • But
  • Or
  • Yet
  • So

Independent clauses convey a complete meaning or a full thought on their own, which means they can be completely understood even if alone. Example:

  • I saw a movie last night. But I didn't like it.

<h3>What is a dependent clause?</h3>

Dependent clauses do not convey a complete meaning on their own. They follow subordinate conjunctions and need a main clause to complete their meaning. Examples of subordinate conjunctions are:

  • Even though
  • After
  • Because
  • While

With the information above in mind, we can conclude the answer given above is correct.
