Answer:

Shakespeare capitalizes on the multiple meanings of "great" to help emphasize Hamlet’s point.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Hamlet" revolves around the revenge plan of the young prince Hamlet over the death of his father, King Hamlet. And in the process of trying to avenge his father's death, hamlet exudes certain qualities of man such as appearance vs. reality, truth vs. lie, goodness over evil, love, religion, women, etc.

In Act IV scene iv, Hamlet reflects <em>"Rightly to be great / Is not to stir without great argument, / But greatly to find quarrel in a straw"</em>. This scene where Hamlet and his friends encountered Prince Fortinbras on his way to fight Poland over a small patch of land revealed to Hamlet how people are ready to shed blood over a piece of worthless land. But, even though he had much to gain by getting revenge on his father's killers, he is still indecisive.

So, <u>by repeating the word "great" and "greatly", Shakespeare helps emphasize the importance of Hamlet's point of getting his father's revenge</u>.

Find the two plural or possessive errors. Select each one and type it correctly.
Artemon [7]

The two plural or possessive errors are the following;

  • Bird-watchers' and
  • Birds

<h3>What are the two plural or possessive errors?</h3>

The two plural or possessive errors are the ones that use the wrong placement of the apostrophe and the letter s. In the instances above, we can see that there was no need for the apostrophe after the letter s in the word, Bird-watchers.

Also, in the second instance, there was a need to put the apostrophe after the letter d in the word, Birds. The correct ways to write these are Bird-watchers and 'The bird's...' So, the two words identified above are the errors.
