a - She was supposed to change his mind, by means of a convincing tune. So, both "soft" and "sedating" are to-the-point, in my view. But, as a matter of final choice, I'd prefer to mark "sedating" as my candidate option.
b - The considerable coherency between her husband and the guy had affected on her to be interested in the man. Thus, she was keen on keeping him beside themselves to satisfy her man's wish
c - He had misunderstood about his wife's communications with Polixenes, to be something different than a solely-benevolent attempt to maintain a fraternity
d - As he did possess wisdom and equity, just listened to his soul to do the right thing, i.e. helping the innocent man, instead of blindly-obedience from his king
Best,Matin
Hi Matin
a. Sedating is close but I'd choose soft. Sedating would be closer to calming or tranquilizing, however, the word gentle here is closer in meaning to kind or soft./0
b. You've got the right idea but I don't like the wording of your first sentence.Your second sentence is fine though./1
c. You've got the right idea but I don't like your choice of words here. /2
d. Here's how I'd rephrase your answer: Since he was a wise and just man, instead of blindly obeying his king and murdering an innocent man, helped him escape from Sicily. /3
Thanks
