Answer:

The correct answer is A.

Explanation:

It is important to state that the original opening scene from Hamlet does not contain the "stage directions" included in this excerpt ("Elsinore, a platform before the castle"); and what is more, there is no explicit allusion to a place before the action actually starts.

Having said that, the correct answer is A because Bernardo asks <em>"Who's there?</em>" and Fransisco returns <em>"Nay, answer me; stand, and unfold yourself"</em> (meaning, you tell me who you are and identify yourself). <u>This interaction can only be possible if it is very late at night, since the characters imply that they can's see each other by asking who is approaching.</u> Once they have identified themselves they talk about to things:

  1. "'Tis now struck twelve; get thee to bed, Fransisco"

="The clock says it's twelve, so go to bed" This is an explicit reference to the time in which this scene takes place, so now we can be certain that it is very late at night.

2.  "it's bitter cold, and I am sick at heart"

= "It's very cold and I feel depressed" This is an explicit reference to the weather being cold.

How did hitler infringe on the rights of minorities by implementing his racial policy in germany
Virty [35]

Answer:

Hitler not only 'isolated' the Jews based on their racial background but also extended this discrimination to other minority groups. He also ordered the execution of such people who he deemed "illegal" and inferior to the German people.

Explanation:

Infringement refers to the act of obstructing the progress or movement of something or someone or controlling and restrict the actions of something or someone. In this aspect, Adolf Hitler infringes on the rights of the Jewish people when he ostracized and deemed them "racially invalid" for the German Reich.

German leader and dictator Hitler imposed several laws and regulations that obstructed and limited the Jewish people from exercising their rights to live as German nationals/citizens. He introduced and implemented numerous policies that were racially discriminatory against the Jewish people.  

One such law was the "Nuremberg Laws" which officially provides a definition of who is a German citizen and who is not. This law makes every person, irrespective of what religion he/she practices, a Jew if he/she is a descendent of a Jew. This law was a targeted attack on the Jews and the necessary step to isolate them from being equal to the "genuine" Germans.

Then, the Nuremberg Laws were extended to other minorities, including the gypsies, Sinti and Roma, and the Ne g r oe s.

And if that wasn't enough discrimination, Jews were taken to concentration camps, made to work, and exterminated as if they meant nothing.

All of these horrendous acts were a downright infringement on the rights of minorities.
