The fifth amendment
example: “I PLEAD THE 5TH!!!!”
The correct answer is B), 'evaluate and analyze'. When investigating something, it is important to first evaluate, or asses, the information you've been given, and then analyze the data, or examine and organize it. Answer choice A is incorrect because to synthesize something is to imitate it and answer choices C and D are incorrect because you should not look at something subjectively, such as when forming an opinion or connecting to a personal experience, when you are investigating it.
Hope this helps!
It is an early monologue in the second act of The Merchant of Venice that reveals the deepest insight into the psychological and functional motivation of antisemitism. As in most Shakespeare plays, this profound speech is delivered by a clown, in this case, Launcelot Gobbo, Shylock’s servant. Too often left out of productions, the speech gives us the inner workings of the antisemite.
Launcelot tells us that he thinks he could do better working for a Christian. He also fears that if he continues working for a Jew, he will become a Jew. Yet, as a servant, his main duty is loyalty to his master. The result is that his internal argument about whether to continue working for Shylock does not take place between “devil” and “angel” (as Renaissance allegory would lead us to expect), but between “fiend” and “devil.” Launcelot’s “Fiend” is that part of himself that wants him to leave Shylock—a desire that his class conscience tells him is disloyal and wrong. This “fiend” should be opposed by the angelic voice in favor of his employer, but Launcelot is too much the antisemite for that. Instead, he decides that “the Jew is the very devil incarnate,” and thus his employer is much worse than Launcelot’s (his own) inner “fiend” ever was. He is thus free to follow his most selfish, “fiendish” desires, leave Shylock, and take a better job:
Certainly the Jew is the very devil incarnate; and, in my conscience, my conscience is but a kind of hard conscience, to offer to counsel me to stay with the Jew. The fiend gives the more friendly counsel: I will run, fiend; my heels are at your command; I will run. (Merchant of Venice Act 2, Scene 2).
There are no questions to go with this. Sorry I can't help you.
