Answer: b) thus the squire will learn to be a good landlord, and grow popular among his tenants, the mother will have eight shillings neat profit, and be fit for work till she produces another child.

This is an example of satire. Satire is a type of humor that uses exaggeration and ridicule in order to mock the vices and follies of an individual, a group of people or society at large. Satire often has the intention of shaming individuals into changing their behaviour. In this case, the author uses satire to argue that a family would benefit and be much happier if they sell their child so that he can be eaten by the rich.

after reynaldo leaves polonius's room, ophelia enters distraught. she tells her father that hamlet had appeared before her in a
Vladimir79 [104]

Polonius thinks that Hamlet is mad because Ophelia is ignoring him and Hamlet is madly in love with her.

The above scene is taken from Hamlet Act 2 written by William Shakespeare. This scene starts with Reynaldo, a spy sent by Polonius, who travels to France to keep a watch on Laertes. As soon as Ophelia walks in, she informs Polonius that Hamlet stormed into her room, holding her wrists, and stared crazily into her eyes. She continues by saying that she has severed all ties with Hamlet. Polonius decides to meet with the king to devise a method to eavesdrop on Hamlet speaking to Ophelia since he is convinced that Hamlet is madly in love with her and that Ophelia's rejection is what put him in this situation. Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, two of Hamlet's classmates from high school, have been invited by Gertrude to investigate the origin of his insanity. Hamlet avoids their queries because he is wary of them.

Here madness has two meanings, that is one immediately thinks of a lunatic in an asylum who is unable to understand reality when it is used frequently in phrases to suggest unreasonable insanity.
