rcise in your defence, And for your rapier most especially, That he cried out, 'twould be a sight indeed If one could match you; the scrimers of their nation, He swore, had neither motion, guard, nor eye, If you oppos'd them. Sir, this report of his Did Hamlet so envenom with his envy That he could nothing do but wish and beg Your sudden coming o'er, to play with him. Now, out of this,— Laertes: What out of this, my lord?

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.

Can anyone please help me with this?
Ivan
1.opinion
2.fact
3.opinion
4.fact
5.fact

You can usually tell if something is an opinion if it has adjectives associated with it, expression how somebody feels about something, like “best, worst, most____, least____.” Something is a fact if it can be proven. For example, because number 4. says “from the fossils record,” if can be proven that the dinosaurs legs are the strongest by checking the record, making it a fact and not an opinion. Hope this helps
