Answer:
Insanity
Explanation:
In Act II and Scene II of Hamlet, we see Polonius and Claudius talking about the possibility that Hamlet is crazy, insane. Polonius is sure of this insanity because he has already seen Hamlet with strange behaviors, like walking alone in the gallery for hours and besides, he read a note that Hamlet sent to Ophelia that reinforced the impression of madness that the youth possessed.
Claudius is hearing everything clearly and has some doubts about Hamlet's madness. The whole conversation took place in the presence of Hamlet's mother, who believes that the son may have gone mad because of the grief in the father's death and the mother's marriage to the man who occupied Hamlet's father's throne.

This question is about the poem "No Man is an Island", by John Donne.
Answer:
The statement that best describes a theme of the poem is:
C. Everyone and everything in the world is connected as part of a larger whole.
Explanation:
No wonder the title of the poem says no man is an island. We are all connected; we are a continent, a family. If one of us dies, no matter where in the world, all the rest of us should grieve, according to the speaker. We are a part of a larger whole. No man is truly isolated for all men are a part of humankind:
<em>[...]any man's death diminishes me,
</em>
<em>because I am involved in mankind.
</em>
<em>And therefore never send to know for whom
</em>
<em>the bell tolls;</em>
<em>it tolls for thee.</em>
