Answer:

The options:

brave, authoritative, kind, compassionate, nervous, defensive shrewd, devious

The CORRECT ANSWER IS

nervous, defensive

Explanation:

Gertrude is a tough character to decode, due to little or no dialogue as expressed by the character. For a large part, she is observed to be passive, and submit to the instructions of her husband. Moving into Act IV, at some point, we can acknowledge that she is beginning to have some kind of repentant and guilty feeling on how her marriage is going, which prompts her to take on a defensive means. Along the line, both when she encountered Claudius follwing Hamlet assassination of Polonius, and when she saw the mental illness of Ophelia, she becomes nervous, and not clear of how to act and her next course of action.

Answer:

I do not share FitzGerald's concern

Explanation: I don't share FitzGerald's concern because I think history is always evolving, there are always new studies that reveal discoveries about ancient history that before were unknown, which make us change our concept about what really happened in that particular moment in time. Every event changes along we study it further. I think the process of history education must change as new perspectives on past events are discovered, this is in constant evolution and we should always be aware of that.

3. what is most ironic about Lysander's last words before he falls asleep?

- Lysander tells Hermia that he hopes he dies before his loyalty to her ends. This is ironic because his loyalty will end as he sleeps when Puck does him with the love potion.

4. What is an example of dramatic irony is this Act?

-Bottom is unaware that his head has been transformed into a donkey's head. The audience knows that he has a donkey's head, but he has no idea!

Bottom thought that the other characters has been playing a trick on him so he cannot continue with his performance as Pyramus.

5. What do these lines reveal about Helena?

- She distrusts Demetrius and Lysander's feelings for her.

Helena has always considered herself inferior to Hermia. She knows that the one guy she likes is in love with Hermia. That's why she cannot trust her feelings when Lysander and Demetrius came courting her.
