Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the C) "like startled rattlesnakes, the long / naked arms uncoil."

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit on the answers, it can be added that the two halves of a castanet, which can be made out of wood or other material, are joined by a cord that usually goes around the thumb, while the other fingers tap the surface, creating a very characteristic and cheerful sound. In the poem, the speaker compares this sound and visual image of the dancer playing the castanets to surprised rattlesnakes that unfold in an (usually frantic) movement.

Marcellus tells us "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark." After we hear the ghost’s message, how does this prove true in
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

This is one of the most famous lines in Shakespeare's work. <em> "Something is rotten in the state of Denmark "</em> refers both to the spiritual and political corruption in Denmark. The new king, Claudius, obtained the throne by murdering his brother. Moreover, he is in incestuous marriage with Gertrude. The king is obviously more concerned with keeping the plot against his brother a secret, than actually ruling the country. Hamlet himself makes a similar remark in Act I, Scene II, comparing his country to a neglected garden: <em>"Tis an unweeded garden." </em>

2.)Epistolary form, telling a story through a series of documents (often letters), is a unique form of storytelling with many benefits and limitations.

One benefit of the epistolary form is that it gives the reader a feeling of watching (perhaps spying) on the correspondence between characters without the storytellers' intent. This voyeurism can be exciting for the reader. It allows the reader to experience the dynamic between characters in a unique and interesting way. Whether or not it is more authentic is open to debate.

There are plenty of drawbacks to the epistolary form. It can be a bit more difficult to experience the motives, objectives, and true essence of the characters in the story without any form of omniscience or direct storytelling. The reader is limited to the documents with which she is presented. Although the reader is, of course, reading regardless, she may grow tired of reading about events rather than experiencing them in words. The difference may seem trivial, but is an essential difference in terms of experience.
