Answer: Therefore, your best answer is (A) When Claudius uses flattery to convince Laertes to kill Hamlet, Shakespeare emphasizes the theme “Pride leads to downfall.”
Explanation: In scene seven of act four, Claudius is talking with Laertes about how Hamlet killed Polonius (Laertes's father and Claudius's advisor). Laertes asks Claudius why he hasn't killed Hamlet, to which he answers by saying that he couldn't because it would hurt Gertrude (The Queen and Hamlet's mother), and it would turn the nation against him (Claudius) because everyone loved Hamlet.
Then, Claudius started flattering Laertes's skills at fencing and saying that Hamlet would challenge him, and asking Laertes if he was a man of empty words like Hamlet or a man who was ready to avenge his father's death.

( in answer 9 i am not sure about the last 2 points
I haven't read the writing or speech, "ain't I a woman" but from background knowledge, I know that rhetoric and rhetorical devices are used to persuade the audience of something.
As I don't know what the speech is about, I couldn't tell you what makes it effective but your answer is going to most likely be a type of rhetorical device.
Ask yourself...
What does the speech use more of?
- Alliteration
- Hyperbole
- Metaphors
- Similes
Those are some examples of rhetorical devices. I know I haven't read the speech but I hope I was at least some help :) Let me know if you have anymore questions.
