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.

Answer:

The correct answer is <u>B.</u>, "he introduces the conflict between Ophelia and Hamlet, thereby adding suspense and advancing the plot."

Ophelia tells Polonius that Hamlet's behavior is strange, she describes what Hamlet did and the way he shooked her. She was terrified.

Ophelia tells her father what happens.

Hamlet tried to convince the court that he is crazy and if Polonius believed so, it can help to his cause.

Previously, Ophelia had been instructed by Polonius to stopped answer Hamlet's letters.

Answer:

The Reefs by Marcella Morris

1. The theme develops from the conflict or the central problem that is being confronted.   It can also develop from the character, especially the character's qualities, actions, responses, and changes which the character makes in the situation.

2. Sophie was confronted with the problem of solving a crucial environmental issue.  The coral reefs were facing possible extinction.  She could not receive some support from her college professors, as they refused to provide their expertise, withheld their moral support, and did not supply her with the resources that she required (e.g. laboratory time).  But, Sophie did not give up.  She singularly decided to do something and was able to follow through despite the discouraging challenges.  At last, she came up with the solution because of her indomitable spirit.  

Explanation:

What is a theme?  A theme of a story or an event is the lesson that can be derived from the story or event.  It is not the sequence of events that make up a story, which is known as the plot, but the message or the bone of the story.  The theme develops from the conflict or the central problem that is being tackled.  The lessons that are learned in tackling the conflict or problem are the themes.
