The scene with the gravediggers illustrates the play’s broader theme of mortality. In the first part of the scene, two gravediggers discuss the burial of people who have taken their own lives and how the Christian system is flawed in disallowing suicide. Hamlet and Horatio then look at the remains of the many dead bodies and reflect on the certainty of death for all people. In death, we are all the same. For example, a woman may go to great ends to beautify herself in life, but her remains after death may look like any ordinary person’s remains. Hamlet and Horatio also discuss how a person's greatness ceases to matter when he or she dies. Hamlet refers to Alexander the Great being buried and becoming one with the sand.
Yorick’s skull acts as a symbol of death. With the skull in his hand, Hamlet reminisces about the time he spent with Yorick. Now, in death, Yorick is nothing more than a pile of bones, with no wit, humor, or intelligence. Earlier in the play, Hamlet spent much time mulling over death and wondering what came after death. Yorick’s skull answers that question for Hamlet.
The skull and the graveyard directly contrast with the life Hamlet led in the castle. In Elsinore, Hamlet’s mother and Claudius tried to make him forget about his father's death. In the graveyard, he has the freedom to contemplate death.

It would be rainsford falling off the yacht because at that point you wouldn't know what is going to happen and that eventually turns into a series of events.
I believe the answer is B. Nguyen explains how buses reduce traffic by lowering the number of cars on the road.
The passage says “Clearly, buses reduce traffic rather than cause it”. Answer B is the only answer that mentions traffic in a logical way.
I hope this helps!
A widely accepted way of thinking or behaving is a convention.
It denotes set of generally accepted standards and norms and a way in which something is usually done. Example for convention is shaking hands when greeting someone. Controversial on the other hand is something causing people to have opposing ways.
