Question

Read the excerpt from Act III of Hamlet.

Answer 1

By exploring human emotions.

Answer 2

The correct answer is by exploring human emotions.

Elizabethan drama placed a lot of emphasis on portraying human emotions, how people thought and felt about certain things. Shakespeare was definitely one of the authors who was best at doing that, through plays such as Hamlet, Macbeth, etc.

Religion wasn't that important during the Elizabethan era, so options B and D are incorrect. And if you read the excerpt, you will see that there is no mention of political policies, so C is also incorrect, thus leaving us with A.
