Answer: C

Explanation: If you read the excerpt the character is in a very difficult situation. He is swimming in high waters and as “he stroke” or swam with his arms he was becoming more slow due to all the physical effort he is putting into. Each kick in the water caused an enormous tension on his ankles. “Emphasized” here refers to “put stress on” because the other options don’t have anything to do with the situation. “Took note of” would mean he knows he’s hurting physically but will ignore the pain, “gave ease to” would mean he would find relief and “used strength for” would mean he’s putting all the strength he’s got to the pain or the ankle.

The sentence should be clear like this: “He recognized that his stroke was slowing as each agonizing kick in the water put stress on his throbbing pain to his ankle”

Read the paragraph from an interpretive literary analysis. In William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the main character's indecision and
FromTheMoon [43]

In this paragraph from an interpretive literary analysis of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the term <em>allusion</em> should be changed to the term <em>irony</em>.

This is a very common literary device where a state of affairs or events end up being the contrary to what the readers expect and often amazes the audience.

In this particular part of the play, Hamlet, who is supposed to kill Laertes with his sword, ends up being hurted and poisoned by his own sword. His lack of attention ends with his life at the same moment he ends Laerte's.

This is a very unexpected outcome because Hamlet was about to fulfill his will, but because of his inattention, the situation ends with his life as well.
