Read the excerpt from Act I of Hamlet . Polonius: He hath, my lord, wrung from me my slow leave By laboursome petition, and at last Upon his will I seal’d my hard consent: I do beseech you, give him leave to go . Which is the best adaptation of the underlined part of the excerpt?

Polonius says Laertes persuaded him after repeatedly asking, and that he finally gave his consent. In this context, “give him leave to go” means give him permission to go. So the best adaptation is “allow him to go”; it does not mean help or teach him.
