Answer 2

I believe the correct answer is: A (muddled), C (illogical) and E (melancholy).

In this excerpt from William Shakespeare’s drama “Hamlet”, words that best describe Ophelia are muddled, illogical and melancholy. Namely, this excerpt from “Hamlet” is representing Ophelia after her father’s violent death and Hamlet leaving her which resulted in madness. Her state of mind is shown through muddled, deranged illogical and melancholic speech.
