Read the excerpt below: thine evermore most dear lady, whilst this machine is to him, hamlet (act ii, scene ii) when hamlet speaks of "this machine" in his letter to ophelia, he is referring a. the letter b. his body c. the earth d. the kingdom

The right answer is B HIS BODY. When Hamlet writes a letter to Ophelia, he wants to let her know how much he loves her. He was completely devoted to love her as long as his life lasts so he finishes the letter with the previous excerpt. He refers to machine as his own body, even he names it with his name at the end.

the narrator is saying that the old lady made her feel uncomfortable. you know this because they say "i found that rather irksome", "perhaps it was her being so upright and trim", and "i don't think it was that, because i thought that quaintly pleasant." hope this !
