Read the excerpt below and answer the question. therefore i forbid my tears: but yet / it is our trick; nature her custom holds, / let shame say what it will: when these are gone, /the woman will be out. when laertes says these words after ophelia’s death, the word woman refers to: a. her sister b. the queen c. female deviousness d. female weakness

When Laertes says the above words after Ophelia’s death, the word woman refers to female weakness.

The correct option is D.

After learning that Ophelia had died of being drowned, Laertes associates his watery tears with  "too much water"  which Ophelia hid inside her. He wanted to speak and cry out the grief which he has been witnessing because of the uncertain death of Ophelia, but is unable to do so. He says that tears are the natural way through which grief can be poured out. He adds that grief is the symbol of female weakness. After the tears roll off "the woman will be out" of him.

(i can't select because there is no options but, i will answer) using evidence effectively. most of the assignments you will do in university will ask you to make an argument, to take a stance, or to prove a hypothesis. the best way to do this is to research the topic, develop a thesis statement, hypothesis, or claim and then use evidence to support this claim.
