Read this excerpt from act I, scene I, of Richard III. What two purposes does this soliloquy serve in the opening scene? (you ca

n pick more than one answer)
RICHARD III (Duke of Gloucester): Now is the winter of our discontent
Made glorious summer by this sun of York;
And all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
In the deep bosom of the ocean buried.
Now are our brows bound with victorious wreaths;
Our bruised arms hung up for monuments;
Our stern alarums changed to merry meetings,
Our dreadful marches to delightful measures.
Grim-visaged war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front;
And now, instead of mounting barded steeds
To fright the souls of fearful adversaries,
He capers nimbly in a lady's chamber
To the lascivious pleasing of a lute.
But I, that am not shaped for sportive tricks,
Nor made to court an amorous looking-glass;
I, that am rudely stamp'd, and want love's majesty
To strut before a wanton ambling nymph;
I, that am curtail'd of this fair proportion,
Cheated of feature by dissembling nature,
Deformed, unfinish'd, sent before my time
Into this breathing world, scarce half made up,
And that so lamely and unfashionable
That dogs bark at me as I halt by them;
Why, I, in this weak piping time of peace,
Have no delight to pass away the time,
Unless to spy my shadow in the sun
And descant on mine own deformity:
And therefore, since I cannot prove a lover,
To entertain these fair well-spoken days,
I am determined to prove a villain
And hate the idle pleasures of these days.
Plots have I laid, inductions dangerous,
By drunken prophecies, libels and dreams,
To set my brother Clarence and the king
In deadly hate the one against the other:
And if King Edward be as true and just
As I am subtle, false and treacherous,
This day should Clarence closely be mew'd up,
About a prophecy, which says that 'G'
Of Edward's heirs the murderer shall be.

Name the dog that was in the movie what punctuation will come​
Anni [7]

Answer:

(c) . (period)

Explanation:

Punctuation is the use of the different marks in a sentence. This may include period (.), comma (,), semi-colon (;), colon (:), a question mark (?), an exclamation mark (!), etc. in a sentence.

In the given sentence "name the dog that was in the movie", we will use the period (.). This is because the given sentence is a statement rather than a question, even though the sentence asks "to name" the dog. It is a question, made in a statement form.

Thus, the correct answer is option (c).
