The phrase in question refers to Odysseus's victorious pillage of Troy after the Trojan War. It uses 'proud height of Troy' to symbolize the city's once grand stature before its fall. Essentially, it introduces the subsequent adventures of Odysseus following this event.
The phrase 'after he plundered the stronghold on the proud height of Troy' from the Odyssey refers to the period following the historic event when Odysseus, the protagonist, raided the city of Troy. 'Plunder' means to rob or loot, especially during warfare. So, Odysseus is being acknowledged for his victorious pillage of Troy, which was a major event in the Trojan War. The 'proud height of Troy' is a phrase used to give a sense of grandeur and majesty to the city, symbolising its once formidable and eminent standing before its downfall. The phrase in question thus sets the stage for describing Odysseus's journey post the war, residual victories, trouble and his eventual return home.

B. It emphasizes the idea that the ghost is not real, but rather imagined by Hamlet.
C. It complicates the plot and makes it more difficult for a modern audience to understand it.
D. It simplifies the plot of the play and makes it easier for a modern audience to understand it.
The correct answer is B. It emphasizes the idea that the ghost is not real, but rather imagined by Hamlet.
In the original play, the ghost is apparently real because some people (other than Hamlet) also saw it. However, not all of them, which is why Hamlet's sanity is often questioned. In this adaptation, however, where both Hamlet and the ghost are played by the same character, we get the idea that the ghost doesn't actually exist - but rather that Hamlet is actually crazy and imagining things due to his pain of losing his father.
The context clues show that the effect of this adaptation is B. It emphasizes the idea that the ghost is not real, but rather imagined by Hamlet.
