Answer:
1. Shakespeare uses a huge vocabulary, far larger than anyone else including the audiences who saw his plays for the first time in the 16th and 17th centuries. There are inevitably going to be lots of words the reader does not know.
2. Some of the words and phrases he uses are slang or otherwise outdated. Sometimes the words have secondary slang meanings that might go over the reader's head.
3. Shakespeare's sentences are sometimes long, very long, and require a lot of concentration to follow through to the end.
4. Shakespeare wrote a lot of his dialogue in poetry. To many people the idea of people talking in poetry is just weird, but it has the advantage of making what people say much more beautiful, powerful and compelling. Some of the side effects are that the lines are in verse, which gives them a characteristic rhythm (easier to memorize), sometimes results in verbs at the end of a sentence being placed, and involves a lot of similes, metaphors, personifications and all that other poetry stuff. You might find "What light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun" harder to understand than "Hey, isn't that Juliet in that window?" but it is much more beautiful.
5. Shakespeare wrote plays. He meant them to be watched, not read. Unless you are practised in reading scripts, it is very very hard to imagine how the play will look when it is being acted just by reading it. This is, I think, the fact which, more than anything else, makes Shakespeare's plays difficult for people. Often they are the first plays students have read, and they have no clue how to understand what is happening.

Answer:
The area of the photograph which emphasizes the hope to see the world on the other side of the Berlin Wall is the area marked above the wall, in the sky.
Explanation:
The Berlin Wall was literally a wall built with the purpose of dividing Berlin, the capital of Germany, into two. On one side, the city was capitalist, while on the other side, it was controlled by Soviet socialists. The wall stood from 1961 to 1989, and people who tried to cross it to escape the Soviet control would be caught or even killed.
Now, let's apply that information to the question at hand. In the photo, there are four areas marked with a red rectangle, and we are asked to choose the one that emphasizes the hope to see the world on the other side of the wall. <u>Imagine living in Soviet-controlled Berlin and hoping to escape it. Where would you look? The wall itself is the obstacle that should be overcome. The sky is what represents freedom. Looking at it gives us hope of an entire world waiting on the other side of the wall. Therefore, the area we should choose is the one marked in the sky.</u>
There are no changes needed because he isn't directly saying anything. It will be different if the sentence said Grandpa said,"The soup is ready". Then it will need quotation marks.
I believe the answer would actually be D. No, because she uses subjective language such as "absurd sophisms which insult common sense."
"A Vindication of the Rights of Woman" is full of Wollstonecraft's highly opinionated arguments meant to persuade others (ex. Calling things absurd insults...). When an author inserts his or her opinion, he or she is speaking subjectively.
I've also had this a question on my English exam.
Hope this helps! (:
Hello, dear. For the most part, you're doing wonderfully. Some parts don't make a whole lot of sense, but it's getting along quite well.
I would recommend this revision, though:
Hello, everybody!
It's good that you're all on time!
I'm sending this out to tell you that Mr. Atkins called and said that he won't be here today. He has a fever and headaches, and is staying home, since he probably has the flu, but apologizes sincerely for his absence.
It's alright, though, because Mr. Burden will replace him, and we'll all go to the airport to welcome our French students.
He may be late, because he has to get our train tickets and official documents. I hope we won't miss the train.
So, we'll wait here quietly and patiently for him.
I'm not quite sure why you have something about missing the train in there, if it's just for conversation, or what, but that could possibly be left out, if you wish. Otherwise, you didn't spell anything wrong, it's all just grammar and word placement things.
I hope this helps!
