Final answer:

The foreshadowing of Hamlet's impending death at the end of Act 5 is NOT a possible symbol of Yorick's skull as Hamlet delivers his soliloquy in the graveyard.

Step-by-step explanation:

The foreshadowing of Hamlet's impending death at the end of Act 5 is NOT a possible symbol of Yorick's skull as Hamlet delivers his soliloquy in the graveyard.

In the play, the skull represents the destiny of all people's bodies to rot and decay, the legacy that people leave behind after their death, and the fact that death is unavoidable for all people. However, it does not foreshadow Hamlet's own death.
