The correct answer to what do Bixby's expressions suggest about his character is the last option: He has a natural, highly witty sense of humor.

When Bixby says things like <em>"By the great Caesar's ghost"</em> or <em>"you don't know enough to pilot a cow down a lane"</em>, it becomes clear that he has a <em>funny, comical and somehow inventive character.</em> His expressions are <em>jokes or puns</em> that seem to be <em>natural</em>, they appear to be <em>common or usual in his speech</em> and to come intuitively. So, the correct answer to what the expressions suggest about Bixby's character is that <em>he has a natural, highly witty sense of humor.</em>

The correct answer couldn't be the first option, <em>"He has a large and somewhat imposing personality"</em> because there is <em>nothing imposing about the comments Bixby does</em>. He is, indeed, a little bit acid, but not at all imposing. On the contrary,<em> he asks for Moses' help and says that he believes him.</em> Therefore, the correct answer couldn't be "He has a large and somewhat imposing personality".

The correct answer couldn't be the second option, <em>"He does not get along well with any other people"</em>, because there is <em>nothing on his way of speaking which indicates that his jokes, puns or way of expressing himself are not well excepted by people.</em> On the contrary, he seems to be acid, humorous, <em>but also friendly.</em> Thus, the correct answer couldn't be "He does not get along well with any other people".

The correct answer couldn't be the third option, <em>"He is extremely well read and well educated"</em> because Bixby shows <em>no signs</em> of that. On the contrary, <em>when he speaks, his expressions are informal and conversational.</em> So, the correct answer couldn't be "He is extremely well read and well educated".

“What happened? Why are you limping?” says Miss Prokes.

“Uh... I was just walking down the stairs but suddenly I stumbled and fell,” she says.

“Claire, how many times have I told you not to rush down the stairs, but you still do not pay attention to my words,” Miss Prokes sighs and says in a lowly voice.

Read the excerpt from Act II of Hamlet.
kkurt [141]

Answer:

B, but read the full explanation carefully. If you have an idea of your own, pick it.

Explanation:

It's none of these. Later on we learn that they are talking about fortune and luck. Hamlet makes a very nasty comment about the nature of luck whom he sees as a changeable woman who takes money for her favors (his words not mine). Rosenkranz and Guildenstern are in the middle which leads Hamlet to make another off color observation.

Given that background, you could almost pick any one of the choices, since    none of them are correct. I suppose if you take Guildenstern's initial couplet you could pick prosperity, but I wouldn't be surprised if the writer of this question didn't pick it. The quotation is taken out of context.

Whatever they are talking about is neither the top or the bottom. It is therefore in the middle. But before this speech, we learn that the two students are not doing well. Hamlet is trying to joke with them.
