Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Infinitives can be identified by the presence of "to" after some verbs. They have a very specific function and mostly appear after the action, which in the sentence is "hoping". The right answer is the third one: an infinitive functioning as an adverb. A verbal seems to be a verb, but its function is to complement a verb and plays the role of a different part of speech. "To begin" is an adverb because it modifies the action of hoping, it gives additional information of what is being expressed.

Why do the complex characters in Shakespeare's plays appeal to a wide audience? because the characters are based on European myths and legends. because the characters represent the best qualities of human nature because the characters are flawed and larger than life because the characters act predictably to bring out a happy ending

Answers

The correct answer is C. Shakespeare's complex characters appeal to a wide audience because they are flawed and larger than life.

Audiences can relate to these characters more easily. People are flawed in real life, so realistic characters are more appealing to an audience. A realistic character is one that is flawed and complex, just like we are. Because these characters are also "larger than life," they have big stories (which is why Shakespeare's plays feature princes, fairies, or star-crossed lovers).

Therefore, Shakespeare's characters appeal to a wide audience because they are flawed and larger than life.

Answer:C

Explanation:Because the characters are based on european myths and legends.
