Hamlet, according to his discussion with Horatio in scene 1 page 9 favors death as an agent of freedom and equality.

Notice the inference he draws using Alexander the Great:

Hamlet: ...isn't it possible...that the remains of Alexander the Great could be used to patch a hole in a barrel?

Horatio: If you thought that, you'd be overthinking

Hamlet: ...just follow the logic: Alexander dies, he is buried, and returns to dust. The dust is dirt, and dirt makes mud which we use to patch holes. Tell me why it is impossible that we might have used some dirt which used to be Alexander?....

The great emperor Ceasar, dead and turned to clay, may plug up a hole to keep the wind away...

Hamlet's logic is simple. All men (great or small) are destined to die. But he employs the imagery of mud and dirt to further drive home the notion that if the bodies of the greats decayed and turned to dirt, as well as those of the poor and nameless, then death was indeed an equalizer.

svetoff [14.1K]

It might be stated that Mill employed a combination of formal and informal tone in "On liberty..", by developing some complex ideas, meanings and expressions. The author used metaphors and figurative languages to appeal to the audience. It might be added that Mill wrote those who agreed with him and he discussed his thesis by attacking the conservatives.
He used frases such as "no one's idea," "no one should assert," "it would be absurd," "nobody denies" .

Rotate is to energy as stop is

Lynna [10]

Rotate is to energy as stop is inertia

Inertia means a property by virtue whereby a body continues to move in its state of motion or a state of rest.

It can also be defined as a force the keeps object in the same position or continue to move in the same direction.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

For proper explanation, for an object to move or rotate, energy must be supplied to it, but if the object stops, then inertia of rest is established.

This analysis also defines newton's first law of motion, which is also called the law of inertia. The law states that an object at rest will continue to be in a state of rest and an object in a state of motion will also remain in a state of motion with the same speed and same direction unless a force act on the object.

This question is based on analogy. In analogy, a certain relationship is given and students will be asked to identify another similar relationship from provided alternatives.

The analogy question is to test student knowledge and how fast they reach conclusion, that is, how fast they can conclude concisely and accurately.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is inertia.
