Read the excerpt from act ii of hamlet.

when she saw pyrrhus make malicious sport
in mincing with his sword her husband’s limbs,
the instant burst of clamour that she made—
unless things mortal move them not at all—
would have made milch the burning eyes of heaven,
and passion in the gods.

hecuba is a figure in greek mythology who was married to king priam. in the excerpt, she is shown grieving for her dead husband.

what does this allusion suggest?

that hecuba was too emotional when she saw her husband’s dead body
that hecuba was determined to take revenge for the death of priam
that hecuba properly mourned the death of her beloved husband
that hecuba did not show enough emotion after priam was killed

Although the other person who answered had the correct description, he gave the wrong answer. The answer is that Hecuba properly mourned her husband, because he is criticizing his mom for not properly mourning.

hey there!

the reasoning behind university’s having students create prompts is to mainly get to know the person better. they want to know their interests, goals, personality,

it’s also a good way for the university to see the persons focuses in life. for example, if someone’s room is very organized and clean, usually all aspects of their life are the same.

so really, having people prompting to apply to a university is so the college can get more information about that person.

hope this you! if you need any more details, i’d be happy to

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
