Answer:

A. True

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech used to compare two things using "like" or "as".

The line “Their wives run around like banshees” is from a poem "Alone" by Maya Angelou.

It is a simile comparing the wives of the millionaires described in the poem to banshees.

Banshees are mythical Irish spirits who scream loudly and are seen when someone is going to die.

This simile was employed to show that the wives are unwanted and not very nice to be with.

You may have used these other instances of moral corruption in your answer:

Polonius' treatment of Ophelia and his willingness to do the bidding of Claudius

Prince Hamlet plotting to kill his uncle Claudius

Prince Hamlet abusing his mother and calling her promiscuous

Hamlet killing Polonius instead of Claudius

Claudius ordering the king of England to put his nephew, Hamlet, to death

Claudius poisoning Laertes's sword before his duel with Hamlet

Hamlet stabbing Claudius

You may also have used quotes from the play similar to the one below, in which Hamlet laments his mother's sudden marriage to his uncle:

O God! a beast that wants discourse of reason,

Would have mourn'd longer—married with my uncle,

My father's brother...
