Answer: to illustrate Claudius's skills of manipulation

Explanation: In this excerpt of Act IV, Scene VII, of "The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark", Shakespeare includes this plot event <u><em>to illustrate Claudius's skills of manipulation</em></u>. Claudius tells Laertes that Hamlet has been jealous of his use of the rapier, and then he nearly forces Laertes to duel with Hamlet and kill him with a poisoned sword instead of the bladeless rapier. To be sure of Hamlet's death he will add poison to a cup he will offer Hamlet if he outlives the duel.

In "Street farmer", the author Elizabeth Royte develops the idea that Will Allen is a pioneer in the urban farming industry not only by enumerating all the work he does in the farm, but also by telling the reader of his teaching of it: "Today Allen is the go-to expert on urban farming, and there is a hunger for his knowledge. When I visited Growing Power, Allen was conducting a two-day workshop for 40 people: each paid $325 to learn worm composting, aquaponics construction and other farm skills."

She also tells the reader of the foundation awards he has received and about the five-year research he did about worm compost making in Milwaukee’s winter, "learning their food and shelter preferences. “I’d run my experiments over and over and over—just like an athlete operates.”"
