The correct answer is C. Play on words

Explanation:

Puns are a type of wordplay based mainly on words that have multiple meanings (homographic), words that sound similar but have a different meaning (homophonic) and words with similar meanings (metonymy), puns are mainly used for humor and as a poetic device in literature. This includes William Shakespeare wide use of puns in his plays as it is considered he used around 3000 puns in them. Thus, puns used by Shakespeare basically play on words as part of poetry devices.

Task: Analyzing Drama
Anton [14]
<span>Hamlet, Act III Scene I - here are some ideas and two videos to start the comparison. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fO-wxlavDQI
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7EH0FxJVCs

It could be seen that these videos are recorded in different  times and by different actors. As regards the 1st one, both are well- known today and it seems that it was done many years ago. the 2nd might show a modern version in a theater not in a setting and with a poorer production. 

As in the 1st one the actors are dressed according to the time and props are used to represent Shakespearean years  the 2nd presents no props, no scenario just actors without even wearing customs. 
</span>
The second version might show actors standing and sitting while the 1st one that are always standing.

The 1st video seems to have lost colour maybe because of the pass of time and the 2nd presents bright colours. As regards the camera shots in the 1st video, it could be seen some close-ups and distance shootings while in the second the camera is pretty near the actors.

How does human compassion inform our understanding of the world
Helen [10]
Human compassion allow us to see things from other people's perspective although some might call that empathy. We've based a lot of what we are and what we do as people on compassion towards others. Some might say that our system of morality is based on reducing suffering, something compassion makes us do.
