<u>Answer:</u>

The correct answer option is: The allusion highlights ideas that relate to the murder of King Hamlet.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Shakespeare alludes to the story of Pyrrhus and Priam throughout Act II, in Scene II of Hamlet since the allusion highlights ideas that relate to the murder of King Hamlet.

Priam, the King of Troy himself, got killed by Pyrrhus, who was responsible for the war and for the death of his father Achilles. This story is used by Hamlet to show that Pyrrhus's intention is to similarly avenge his father's death by killing the King Claudius.

Hi!


The statement that best explains this is:

The allusion highlights ideas that relate to the murder of King Hamlet.


We see that in the myth of the Trojan War, Pyrrhus eventually kills Priam (the King of Troy). Pyrrhus was elated to have done this deed, and that to with Priam's wife, Hecuba, beholding the sight. Priam had caused the war that had eventually resulted in he death of Pyrrhus's father, Achilles, and so by killing him, Pyrrhus was successful in avenging his father.

The reason Hamlet alludes as this particular story is to establish that his motive is similar to that of Pyrrhus's in that Hamlet seeks to avenge the death of his father by killing the King, Claudius, in the presence of his own mother, and Claudius's wife, Gertrude.


So just to be clear, the hints at the following roles:

Hamlet as Pyrrhus

Claudius as Priam

Gertrude as Hecuba

Her sketches are unusual because of their unusual perspective ,radical use of, color and she uses unexpected subjects this sente
Roman55 [17]
The answer is parallelism.

The subject of the sentence is her sketches. Also at the beginning of the list it says their unusual perspective so you have to continue using plural pronouns.

The sentence should read: Her sketches are unusual because of their unusual perspective, radical use of color, and their unexpected subjects.

Fuel crisis of nepal in two paragraphs<br><br>​
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

Nepal’s fuel supplies – mainly coming from the Indian Oil Corporation – have been largely cut off. India claims its trucks are reluctant to cross the border because of turmoil in the region, but many Nepalis are convinced that India is deliberately blockading the country, trying to convince Kathmandu to rewrite the constitution, the Financial Times reported last week.

Cordaid project sites in Rasuwa district, about 3.5 hours drive from Kathmandu, have been affected by the blockade and fuel shortage. Staff members of Cordaid and partner organizations have not been able to visit the area and monitor relief operations on a regular basis. They are covering long distances by foot to do their work in the field.

The last two weeks we haven’t been able to send trucks to sites with emergency items (WASH materials) to the project sites in Rasuwa. The first phase of the emergency recovery project is supposed to end by 25th of October, but due to the situation this is likeley to be postponed.

Cordaid driver Anil Tamang: “I got 20 litres of fuel last week, after queuing for 6 hours. But now gas stations have been closed completely.” Cordaid continues to conduct risk assessments in two villages in Rasuwa district. We can only do this, because most of the trainers, community mobilizers and community members are walking long distances to reach the villages.

Fuel shortages severely hit Nepal’s economy. The beginning of October is the start of the tourist season, an important source of income for the country. But restaurants are closing due to shortage of cooking gas and essential supplies. The fuel crisis affects the many trade fairs and annual exhibitions that come with the big festival of dasain, starting on October 16th. Moreover, the many thousands who directly depend on their daily earnings, are losing their daily bread as a result of the blockades
