The 1st scene happens in the middle of the night, on the dark and windy castle wall. The guards are freezing with cold and trembling with fear, as there's a Ghost who appears and wants to say something.

On the other hand, the 2nd scene happens at court, where all the courtiers are present, along with the queen and the new king Claudius. Although the former king has recently passed out (or murdered, as the reader will find out later), everybody is serene and optimistic. Only the melancholic prince Hamlet is missing.

The two settings are juxtaposed with a context that binds them together (adding to the contrast, at the same time): everybody is well aware of the strange and sudden circumstances of the old king's death. The 1st scene is spooky because of his Ghost who seeks young Hamlet. The 2nd scene leaves a bitter taste because his funeral has been followed by a wedding all too soon.

Read the following text reproduced from neil postman's amusing ourselves to death.
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

B). Postman argues that television commercials do not use language or "tests of truth" to viewers decide whether to buy a product. Instead, they rely on images to create an emotional appeal that influences consumers' decisions.

Explanation:

The second option from the given options is not plagiarised as it paraphrases the ideas presented in the paragraph and acknowledges the author i.e. 'Neil Postman' when it says 'Postman argues.' It restates the meaning of the passage using different words that help in preventing plagiarism. The other options represent Postman's language as well as ideas without paraphrasing and acknowledgment or citation of the source that eventually plagiarizes them. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

dangina [55]

The author could be considered unbiased in her treatment because she writes from a general perspective and rather than detailing just one side, she describes both sides of the story.

She bases her information off facts rather than opinion.
