Read the excerpt from act i of hamlet. hamlet: alas! poor ghost. ghost: pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing to what i shall unfold. hamlet: speak; i am bound to hear. which is the best adaptation of the underlined part of the excerpt? but do not mock what i am going to say but listen closely to what i am going to say but try not to listen to what i am going to say but allow me to listen to what you are going to say

The best adaptation is “but listen closely to what I am going to say”. Taken from the SCENE V of “Act I of Hamlet” by William Shakespeare, in the clause “but lend thy serious hearing To what I shall unfold” the Ghost asks Hamlet to listen carefully to what he has to say. The other options mention misunderstood adaptations of the clause mentioned before, either by introducing a verb that changes the meaning of the clause (“mock”/ “allow”) or by introducing a negation not present in the original clause (“try not to listen”).

"But listen closely to what I am going to say"

Explanation:

dramatic irony occurs when the reader/audience knows more about a character's situation than the character does. the one main effect is that it gives the reader a sense of superiority, or detached superiority. the reader not only seemingly discovers what is revealed, but feels superior for doing so.
