Read the excerpt from Act II of Hamlet.Ophelia: Alas! my lord, I have been so affrighted.Polonius: With what, in the name of God

?Ophelia: My lord, as I was sewing in my closet, Lord Hamlet, with his doublet all unbrac'd; No hat upon his head; his stockings foul'd, Ungarter'd, and down-gyved to his ancle; Pale as his shirt; his knees knocking each other; And with a look so piteous in purport As if he had been loosed out of hell To speak of horrors, he comes before me.What is the most likely reason Shakespeare included this passage? He explains Hamlet’s behavior through Ophelia’s dialogue, thereby tying up loose ends in the plot. He introduces the conflict between Ophelia and Hamlet, thereby adding suspense and advancing the plot. He characterizes the relationship between Ophelia and Polonius, thereby adding to the exposition in the plot. He describes the background between Ophelia and Hamlet, thereby escalating the tension to its highest point in the plot.

Answer:

He explains Hamlet’s behavior through Ophelia’s dialogue, thereby tying up loose ends in the plot.

Explanation:

Thanks to this excerpt, the reader is able to visualize a crucial situation between two characters in a specific point in the story.

Ophelia's horrified reaction to her encounter with Hamlet allowed for a very detailed and critical description of Hamlet's behavior and his then current state of mind, which might have been perceived as a loose end by the reader.

In no fewer than three sentences, critique the following paragraph. Explain where it could be improved. Then, in your own words,
Mumz [18]

The paragraph is beyond choppy and uncomfortable to read because of it. There are too many short sentences and not enough complex ones, making it hard to follow any kind of flow the paragraph has the potential to offer. Because there were no transitions of any kind, it was hard to try and smoothly combine topics. For example, the first two sentences seem abrupt and confusing standing on their own like that. The narrator went from loving swimming to randomly speaking about the beach, and it was hard to follow until you got to the end of the second sentence, understanding then where the connection was between the two. It is hard to even figure out if the paragraph is about swimming or about the beach, and nothing was incorporated smoothly.


There are tons of things to do at local beaches, and people should spend more time at them instead of hanging out indoors all day. The beach offers a place to develop strong swimming skills, and learning to swim is one of my happiest childhood memories. I am glad I learned to swim at the beach.


Rearranging the way beaches and a love for swimming were introduced allow for it to be more easy to understand.
