Answer:
Claudius and Gertrude ask Rosencrantz and Guildenstern about Hamlet's madness.
Explanation:
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Hamlet's friends from Wittenberg. Hamlet was unable to recover from his father's death. So, both Claudius and Gertrude wanted to know if Hamlet's madness was real. They wanted to help Hamlet and make him cheerful. Claudius wanted is friends to investigate why has his son changed a lot.
The tone of the conversation is shameful. Hamlet asks Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, if they had been sent by the king and the queen or they have come on their own. Both feel guilty when Hamlet asks them. They are loyal towards king and the queen and not Hamlet.
Even king and queen have mixed feelings about Hamlet.
He is inferring that the place is as crowded or popular as a circus.
Hope it helped! :)
Answer:
I believe the contrast between the words serves to show:
D. The author admires the Curies' ability to do important work in poor conditions.
Explanation:
The author talks of a "dilapidated stove" that the Curies used in their lab right before mentioning the "precious and exciting load." The contrast those adjectives being used in such proximity create is great. These are the Curies we are talking about; the amazing scientists behind the discovery of radioactivity. Yet, they needed coal for their dilapidated stove. Their being able to do such important work in such poor conditions is almost impossible to not admire. That seems to be the reason why the author has created the contrast by using those adjectives. The author admires their ability and wants us to do the same.
