I NEED THIS ASSAP Some critics believe that Hamlet is not insane for the majority of the play, but does "temporarily lose his ra
kati45 [8]

B

There is much evidence in the play that Hamlet deliberately feigned fits of madness in order to confuse and disconcert the king and his attendants. His avowed intention to act "strange or odd" and to "put an antic disposition on" 1 (I. v. 170, 172) is not the only indication. The latter phrase, which is of doubtful interpretation, should be taken in its context and in connection with his other remarks that bear on the same question. To his old friend, Guildenstem, he intimates that "his uncle-father and aunt-mother are deceived," and that he is only "mad north-north-west." (II. ii. 360.) But the intimation seems to mean nothing to the dull ears of his old school-fellow. His only comment is given later when he advises that Hamlet's is "a crafty madness." (III. i. 8.)

When completing with Horatio the arrangements for the play, and just before the entrance of the court party, Hamlet says, "I must be idle." (III. ii. 85.) This evidently is a declaration of his intention to be "foolish," as Schmidt has explained the word. 2 Then to his mother in the Closet Scene, he distinctly refers to the belief held by some about the court that he is mad, and assures her that he is intentionally acting the part of madness in order to attain his object:

Which sentence in the excerpt best shows the lack of interest of white Americans in the lives of African Americans and other min
patriot [66]

The best sentence that shows the lack of interest of white Americans in the lives of African Americans and other minorities is “They shy away from romantic stories about Negroes and Jews because they feel that they know the public indifference to such works, unless the story or play involves racial tension.”

In this sentence of the excerpt we can infer publishing houses will not sponsor books or publications based on stories about minorities and black people because the public is not interested in those stories and would not buy books related to topics that have minorities as main characters.

What is the best plan for developing a linear plot?
Sloan [31]

Answer:

o Construct a timeline of events.

Explanation:

A linear plot structure is when the events of the story are presented in such a way that they do not move back and forth with the narration's timeline. This means that the story moves in a smooth flow, with the events narrated in chronological order.

The best plan for developing a linear plot is to construct a timeline of events. This will enable the writer to see and decide which event comes first and which is the end. By constructing the timeline, the events such as the exposition, the rising action, the climax, or even the resolution will be clearly 'labeled' and placed to formulate a linear plot.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
