I believe the Queen thinks that A. the death of his father caused Hamlet to go insane.

This is what she says in Act II:"I doubt it is no other but the main: His father’s death and our o'erhasty marriage"

This is what she says to Claudius, her ex husband's brother whom she married after king Hamlet's death. She clearly states that it is the king's death which drove Hamlet to madness, as well as the fact that she remarried only a couple of days after that happened. Polonius thinks Hamlet is mad because of Ophelia and the fact that she killed herself, but Hamlet never really cared much about Ophelia (especially after his father's death), whereas Gertrude thinks it is because of his father.

postnew [5]

This excerpt could be considered humorous because of the way in which the events are retell and because of the choice of words. their arrival is portrayed in such a way that the reader might think, it could have a deeper meaning. For example
"It regarded us a while without curiosity but with caution, and after we were seen to be harmless" This might be understood as a fun way of expressing that people were all over them, to check who they were, they pay close attention to these "new people" until they were convinced they are fine.

Select the sentence that is punctuated correctly.

rosijanka [135]

B.
Unemployment is high in many fields, but there are jobs available in telecommunications.

A comma is used when it is placed after the end of one independent clause and the beginning of another which follows one such clause. The two independent clauses must be joined with words known as co-ordinating conjunctions. Examples of such words are, but, and,or so etc.
In this sentence but is used, preceded by a comma so it is the right one.
