Although we never learn exactly what changes Hamlet asked The Players to make in their script, it is almost certain that the changes included the dumb show portion that presents the Fellow pouring poison into the King’s ear as well as the lines about fidelity and widowhood. One aspect of the irony is that Hamlet requested the changes so he could watch Claudius’s reaction: to “catch the conscience of a king.” He later tells his step-father. Dramatic irony is simply giving the audience more information than another character has. When Gertrude says this, she is speaking to the audience, not another character. She is foreshadowing any negative consequences of another character's actions.

Answer:
A. Discoveries during the scientific revolution allowed for the
Industrial Revolution to occur.
Explanation:
The early discoveries of the Scientific revolution were primarily about the solar system and the nature of matter. But these led to more scientific inquiry about forces (Descartes, Newton, Kepler) and development of formulae used to calculate and predict outcomes.
These came to be applied by the inventors at the start of the industrial revolution, especially in the development of the steam engine (Newcomen, Watt) which allowed for increased production of goods and faster travel over greater distances.
Answer: c. Summer is a calm and peaceful time of the year.
Explanation:
This is based on the poem, "July" by Susan Hartley Swett.
In this poem, Ms. Swett makes reference to Summer being a calm and peaceful time of the year because the scenarios described in the poem were meant to create a calm and peaceful picture about what happens in July and because we know that July is a summer month, it can therefore be inferred that Summer is a peaceful time of the year.
