Answer:

‘Hamlet’ is one of the play by William Shakespeare. The play is about the prince Hamlet and his revenge against Claudius who’s Hamlet’s uncle.
In the play, Hamlet addresses his uncle as ‘A little more than kin and less than kind.’ When Hamlet says ‘A little more than kin’ he means that his uncle Claudius is now not just his uncle, but his step father as well simply because he married Hamlet’s mother.
‘Less than kind’ means that although Claudius is now Hamlet’s stepfather, he is less than kind because of the fact that he briskly married his mother and it was because of Claudius that Hamlet’s father died.

In which sentence is the underlined verb in the passive voice?

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

She has been chosen to sing in tonight’s concert.

Explanation:

Active voice of tense is when the subject does the action which the verb stated. In most cases we use active voice.

I made a cake.

Passive voice is used when we want to emphasize the action, not the subject of the sentence or when we do not who the subject is. We build passive voice by adding a past participle of a certain verb to a form of auxiliary verb (depending on needed tense).

Cake was made (by me - not important).

Regarding all said above, in sentences 1, 3 and 4 is used active voice of a tense. Only in sentence 2 (She has been chosen to sing in tonight’s concert.), we can notice the passive voice, so that is the correct answer.

How does the last stanza contribute to the structure of the poem

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

There are no general rules about such functions, the student or critic analysing the poem has to decide in each case afresh which is the function in the particular poem he or she is dealing with.

Explanation:

Two aspects of stanza form are particularly relevant for the analysis of poetry: First, a stanza form is always used to some purpose, it serves a specific function in each poem. Second, well-known stanza forms stand in a certain tradition. The sonnet for instance started its career in English poetry as a love poem.
