Yes, it seems to be an alternative, in some situations acceptable, but eccentric and not neutral spelling of this word. It accents the fact that "ea" here are two separate vowels rather than a diphthong: that is the function of the trema (the two dots).
In practice it's not used much, because it's not really necessary: it does not distinguish it from any other word, and trema is not easy to find on English keyboards: so there is no need.

C. The events actually took place over the course of several years, not over a short time as Shakespeare suggests.
Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar" is heavily based on Plutarch's "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans." In "Lives of Noble Grecians and Romans", Plutarch shows that the events took place over the course of some years, but that sort of format would have been impossible for a 3 hour play. So Shakespeare had to change it to be over a short period of time.
Answer:
- Cue your listeners.
Explanation:
As per the question, <u>the technique that has been employed here 'cue your listeners' as it signals or hints the readers about the author's purpose and nature of the content</u>. These cues help the speaker to provide an indication to the readers about his specific intent for creation of a particular work and leads the readers to elicit desired response. The 'faster rate of speech' function as a cue/hint to develop excitement while 'a slower rate' indicates that the tone is 'serious' and the speaker intends to convey something serious and significant.
