Option C

Explanation:

Ophelia is rendered clueless between two challenging impulses.

On one side, her loyalty lies with her father where her father doesn't want her to be with Hamlet and on the other hand was Hamlet .

She was exploited of her mental piece at the hands of her father as well as Claudius.

Moreover, the tragic death of her father deprived her of her mental health. The grief of her father's death was empowering her. Her mental state was deteriorating as she wander untidy, sad, disordered and growingly mad and singing weird stuff like she sings a song which refers to the incident where Christ transforms a baker into an owl after the refusal of bread to him. Owl, here also symbolizes death, virginity and darkness.

A, C, & E are correct, i got this correct on my quiz. have a good day :)

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.
