Our task is to determine which phrases praise Ptolemy for his work. These phrases will contain subjective language - language that reveals the author's feelings, opinions, beliefs, or assumptions about what he's writing about. All phrases, except for the first one, contain this type of language. The first phrase contains neutral, objective language, which is why it isn't one of the correct options.
Words that Robert Stawell Ball uses to commend Ptolemy are <em>greatest, wisdom, illuminated, </em>and <em>astonishing</em>. All of these words have a positive connotation, i.e. evoke positive emotions in us.
Especially after the murder of Duncan, Shakespeare subverts these stereotypes. Shakespeare explains the aftermath of Duncan’s murder by showing how Lady Macbeth and Macbeth feel during their intimate conversation. Macbeth’s emotions override his personal nature due to the pressure he is put in of being caught, essentially for Lady Macbeth’s actions. However, Lady Macbeth is calm throughout the conversation, she is the one who is calming down Macbeth for the deed he had just committed.

Why do you think Biden chose Kamala as his running mate when he was chosen for the democratic nomination?
