The correct answer is C. to decrease Tom's aggressive behavior.
Given that Tom is suffering from antisocial personality disorder, he might be very aggressive and violent towards others, and he might pose a danger to those around him. Due to this disorder, he cannot understand that the things he's doing are wrong. The psychiatrist will prescribe him barbiturates because they can sedate him and mitigate his reactions.

Which is the best description of how Gertrude is characterized in this passage?
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

In the play "Hamlet" written by William Shakespeare, Gertrude is the character about whom not much is revealed in the play. Her participation in the murder of the old King Hamlet was a mystery.

In the passage, Gertrude's character is critical towards Hamlet. <u>In Act 1, Scene 2 of the play,</u> when Hamlet mourns over the death of his father by wearing black clothes, which represents mourning, <u>Gertrude criticizes Hamlet for the prolonged period of mourning. </u>

<u>With this, we can say that Gertrude is critical of Hamlet's mourning and asks him to move on. </u>

So, the correct answer is option C.

Marla and Aisha both playing with their own dolls in the same area, but they are not talking to each other – only to their own i
mestny [16]

Answer:

The answer is parallel and cooperative, respectively.

Explanation:

Parellel play occurs when children play in the same area as others, but don't interact directly. It differs from associative play because parallel is imitative (i.e. both kids are doing the same activity), and associative <u>involves different types of activities, and a considerable degree of interaction</u>.

Cooperative play is when children are interested in each other's activities, play together and present an organised structure. They usually assign roles (in the example, one of them swings the rope and the other jumps).
