Answer:

B. Hamlet is aware that he is being watched and that Ophelia is being used to spy on him.

Explanation:

He believes Ophelia is being used as spy in a conspiracy against him.

The scene goes likes this:

In mid-thought, Hamlet sees Ophelia approaching. Having received her orders from Polonius, she tells him that she wishes to return the tokens of love he has given her. Angrily, Hamlet denies having given her anything; he laments the dishonesty of beauty, and claims both to have loved Ophelia once and never to have loved her at all. Bitterly commenting on the wretchedness of humankind, he urges Ophelia to enter a nunnery rather than become a “breeder of sinners”. He criticizes women for making men behave like monsters and for contributing to the world’s dishonesty by painting their faces to appear more beautiful than they are. Working himself into a rage, Hamlet denounces Ophelia, women, and humankind in general, saying that he wishes to end all marriages. As he storms out, Ophelia mourns the “noble mind” that has now lapsed into apparent madness.

The correct answer is B) Hamlet is aware that he is being watched and that Ophelia is being used to spy on him.

Hamlet speaks rudely to Ophelia because she was spying him. She married Hamlet's uncle, Polonius and he used her to spy Hamlet. Polonius wanted control Hamlet because he believed that Hanlet would discover that he had killed his father and he was afraid of that.

Vsevolod [243]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

<u>The Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Naguib Mahfouz in 1988.</u> He was the first Arabic writer to win the prize. Mahfouz was born in Cairo, Egypt, and many of his novels are set in that city. Which revision puts the underlined sentence into the active voice? The 1988 Nobel Prize in Literature was awarded to Naguib Mahfouz. In 1988, the Nobel Prize in Literature was given to Naguib Mahfouz. Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988. The Nobel Prize in Literature was won by Naguib Mahfouz in 1988.

Answer:

Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988.  

Explanation:

The underlined phrase features the passive voice. This type of voice causes the subject of the sentence to be receiving the action of the verb and not acting on the action of the verb. If we want to change that phrase to the active voice, we need to use the phrase "Naguib Mahfouz won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1988." The active voice allows the subject to practice the action of the verb and who is actually acting according to the verb.
