How is Hippolyta's reasoning concerning the speed with which the next 4 days pass different from that of Theseus? Note how Shakespeare portrays the patience and calmness of Hippolyta in contrast to the impatience and need for action of Theseus. a) Hippolyta believes the days will pass quickly because she is excited about the upcoming wedding, while Theseus is anxious and wants to speed up time. b) Both Hippolyta and Theseus are equally patient and calm in their reasoning about the passage of time. c) Hippolyta is eager for the wedding and wants time to pass quickly, whereas Theseus is relaxed and willing to let time unfold at its own pace. d) Hippolyta is indifferent to the passage of time, while Theseus is focused on making every moment count before the wedding.

The correct option is: "c) Hippolyta is eager for the wedding and wants time to pass quickly, whereas Theseus is relaxed and willing to let time unfold at its own pace." This reflects the contrast in their attitudes toward the passage of time in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."
