Answer:

1. He decides to bestow it to his daughters

2. Goneril says that she loves him like she loves life and even more, Regan says that she loves him more than she loves Goneril.

3. Cordelia says that she loves him just as much as a daughter should love her father and that she loves him because he is her father.

4. He argues because he knows that Cordelia loves him and that she is Lear`s favorite child.

Step-by-step explanation:

King Lear written by Shakespeare is a tragedy in which a king who considers himself old enough to pass the throne and all of his lands to his daughters (Regan, Goneril, Cordelia) who are first asked how much they love him. As Cordelia`s answer is not satisfying, he no longer considers her as his daughter. Regan and Goneril begin treating him disrespectfully which drives him mad and finally leads to conciliation with Cordelia, but as this is a tragedy, there is no happy ending.
