The correct answer is:
The skull of Yorik simbolizes Hamlet's obsession with death and decay in act 5.
In the Act 5 Hamlet visits the grave yard and foinds the skull of a man who worked for his father and who he knew as a child, it brings good memories of Hamlet`s childhood when all was well.
Hamlet remembers the dead in the graveyard. "Alas, poor Yorick," exclaimsHamlet, as he recalls that Yorick was "a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy," one who "hath borne [Hamlet] on his back a thousand times" (5.1.190-191; 191-192; 192-193).
Dear Mama,
I am enjoying my new life in California. The buildings are so unique, the culture is amazing! It is completely wonderful. I love the weather, sometimes its a bit cold but overall its nice, a lot of rich people are here as well. Its nice to see their fancy cars! I enjoy sometimes watching out my window and watching all the cars pass by my house, it's so cool to see all the unique ones that drive by. There are so many unique kinds of people! All the shops and restaurants sell all kinds of different items and food. I like being so close to the ocean as well, even if it's quite cold most of the time. The trip to California was amazing as well, we saw so many neat stuff. Landmarks, parks, everything! The food we ate was really good, visited a lot of nice places to eat. It was a little boring sitting in the car, but we passed the time. Anyways, enough about me. Hows the farm? It's wonderful there, as much as I like the life here I would still go back if I could. How have you been? Whats it life without me and my family there? Is it difficult tending to the farm on your own? I have so many questions. I miss you so much! Please write back soon.

That sentence is actually an example of a simile. Similes are known to compare something to another. You can tell whether it's a simile since a simile uses either "like" or "as" in their sentence as they're comparing something.
The hook is usually the sentence which occurs toward the beginning of the paragraph. It's main objective is to catch the readers attention and make them want to continue reading. (It's kind of like the thumbnail of a Youtube video, it catches the viewers attention.) Anyway, now that we have reviewed what a hook is, let's use the process of elimination to find our answer. A. cannot be the answer. It is a part of the beginning of the passage. It also is a fact, and is not written in a way that can attract a reader's attention and make them want to continue reading. The same goes for B. This is simply just not something that would attract a reader's attention. C is also not the answer. Once again, this statement fails to attract the reader's attention. So, this leaves us with the correct answer, D. Not only is this the first sentence in the paragraph, it also attracts the reader's attention and makes them want to read the rest of the passage.
