Answer 1

B) angry and accusing

Answer 2

Answer: B)

Explanation: In this passage from Act I, Scene V, of "Hamlet", by William Shakespeare, the words that best describe the tone of the passage are angry and accusing. The ghost of Hamlet's father is telling Hamlet that his brother Claudius, a traitor and an adulterous animal has won his former wife's will with intelligent words and fancy gifts. These two things seduced her, and made her fall into Claudius's lust.
