Answer: The phrase from the passage that most helps create a tone of desperation is "Unhand me, gentlemen".

Explanation: The phrases provided are part of Shakespeare's <em>Hamlet</em>. Moreover, all of them are pronouned by Hamlet and belong to a passage from Act 1, Scene 4. However, it is the phrase "Unhand me, gentlemen" the one that helps create a tone of desperation.<u> When he says "gentlemen", he refers to Marcellus and Horatio, who try to hold Hamlet in order for him not to follow his father's ghost because he might hurt Hamlet. </u>Hamlet asks them to let him go but they are determined to hold him back. <u>After insisting for some time, Hamlet tells them "Unhand me, gentlemen" and draws his sword;</u> for that reason, this phrase indicates Hamlet's state of despair.

I always get "The Primary Purpose of this passage is to?" wrong on Reading Comp. I'm guessing this is hurting my score as it seems like a simple questions and I always get it wrong. 

Any idea on how to nail this??? I started taking notes during the section and it helps. I know what the passage is about, but trying to stick it into one of those GMAT choices is difficult. Suggestions?

Main Idea/Primary Purpose Questions: 
Many people believe there is no difference between the main or central idea of the passage and the primary purpose of the author of the passage. This is simply not true. Let's take a look at the subtle but important difference between them: 
Main Idea 
The question might look something like this: 

"Which of the following best states the central idea of the passage?" 
"Which of the following most accurately states the main idea of the passage?" 
"Which of the following is the principal topic of the passage?" 
"The main topic of the passage is...." 

Primary Purpose 
The question might look like this: 

"The primary purpose of this passage is to..." 
"The primary purpose of the passage as a whole is to..." 
"The primary focus of this passage is on which of the following?" 
"The main concern of the passage is to..." 
"In the passage, the author is primarily interested in...." 
"The passage is chiefly concerned with..."
