The questions structure was slightly hard to follow‚ but it wasn’t as hard this time around. My experience with this practice multiple choice section was a more pleasant one. Although I missed

He sacrifices his innocence‚ his conscience‚ and his peace of mind for the endless power and control he pursues. The introduction of the play begins with the description of a king under the pressures of war
