Emotional intelligence is a new concept developed by Dr John Mayer and Dr Peter Salovey (1990) from American University. However, it was popularised by American Psychologist Daniel Goleman (1995). <span>Emotional intelligence is defined as “one’s ability to know, feel and judge emotions in cooperation with a person’s thinking process for behaving in a proper way, with ultimate realisation of happiness in him and in others”. </span><span>Like general intelligence, emotional intelligence is also developed in a person by birth. Normal development of emotion leads to healthy life, but too much variation in emotional level damages the individual’s life.</span>
The level of emotion in a person is called Emotional Quotient (EQ). This can be obtained by using emotional intelligence tests, same way as we assess the IQ of a person.

Answer:
C) She looks peaceful and serene in the painting, but the play says she met a "muddy death."
Explanation:
In William Shakespeare's <em>Hamlet</em>, Ophelia is the daughter of Polonius and the sister of Laertes, and also the lover of Hamlet. She became insane after the death of her father and the loss of Hamlet who has also seemingly become insane due to his grief of his own father's death.
Act IV scene vii of the play shows Gertrude bringing the news of Ophelia's death to Laertes. And while describing the drowning scene of Ophelia, Gertrude mentions that she was<em> "clambering to hang"</em> the flowery wreaths on a branch of a tree when it gave way and she was dumped into the brook. She was then pulled further into the water when <em>"her garments, heavy with their drink, Pulled the poor wretch from her melodious lay To muddy death."</em> This shows a rather unsettling and painful death.
On the contrary, the painting of Ophelia's death by Sir John Everett Millais, a British artist, shows her peacefully floating on the water with flowers around her. Her eyes were slightly open and a calm expression on her face, with hardly any sign of pain in it.
