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.

What is the significance of the train in "Paul's case" and "A journey "
shtirl [24]
The trains in the stories symbolized the journey the characters underwent to get what they want. 

The trains are also the witnesses to the death of the characters. In the story "Paul's case" Paul committed suicide by jumping in front of a train. In the story "A Journey" the husband died in his sleep inside the train while the wife accidentally died when the train reached its destination.

It also sends a message of whatever journey one enjoys in life, he/she will always end up dead or death is an inevitable destination.

In all cultures gestures are used as a form of nonverbal communication but the same gesture may have different meanings and diff
bearhunter [10]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Gestures are very effective in communication, but the same gestures can have different meanings in other countries which can cause a lot of confusion when communicating. An example of this is the gesture used to ask for a ride in the USA, which is characterized with the thumb raised, over the other fingers, which are lowered laterally. Although this gesture means a ride request in the USA, the same jesto means "ok" in Brazil.

The most important difference between procedural and substantive due process is that:.
inna [77]
Procedural due process - The rules. People in charge have to follow them. There are procedures for managing situations when a person is accused of misconduct. Example: A student is accused of cheating. Procedural due process is what they do to prove that, and how they decide to punish him.

Substantive due process - The rules don't apply, or they're ridiculous. Standard procedures for managing situations don't always work. Example: A student is accused of cheating. Substantive due process addresses whether the rules are valid, make sense, and work.
