Answer 1

Hamlet recognizes a character foil through his similarities to Laertes. Laertes demonstrates the level of his grief over Ophelia's death by attacking Claudius and Gertrude. Gertrude's line at Ophelia's funeral is out of character because she has shown little affection and care towards Ophelia previously. The correct answer is 1. D., 2. C. and 3. D.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this excerpt, Hamlet recognizes a character foil through his similarities to D: Laertes. Laertes is also grieving the loss of a loved one, just as Hamlet is grieving the loss of his father. Both characters are consumed by their grief and are driven to take action in response.

In response to Ophelia's death, C: He attacks Claudius and Gertrude. This demonstrates the level of his grief and his desire for revenge against those he holds responsible for her death.

Gertrude's line at Ophelia's funeral is out of character for her because D: She has shown little affection and care toward Ophelia previously. Gertrude, as Hamlet's mother, has shown little concern for Ophelia throughout the play and this sudden display of affection is unexpected.
