Elizabethan Drama: The Tragedy of Hamlet — Test

Question 25 • Language Arts 12

Read the excerpt from Act I of Hamlet. Bernardo: Who’s there? Francisco: Nay, answer me; stand, and unfold yourself. Which is the best adaptation of the underlined part of the excerpt?

Answer
A
keep yourself
B
know yourself
C
stretch yourself
D
show yourself

Explanation

“Unfold yourself” is an old-fashioned way of telling someone to reveal who they are or make themselves visible. In this tense nighttime exchange, Francisco is asking Bernardo to identify himself, so “show yourself” is the best adaptation. “Keep,” “know,” and “stretch” do not express that meaning.
