Read the excerpt from Hamlet. Claudius: Why to a public count I might not go,
Is the great love the general gender bear him;
Who, dipping all his faults in their affection,
Would, like the spring that turneth wood to stone,
Convert his gyves to graces; so that my arrows,
Too slightly timber’d for so loud a wind,
Would have reverted to my bow again,
And not where I had aim’d them.

Which conclusion about Claudius does the excerpt support?

A. He is not a popular king.
B. He is not a good hunter.
C. He is really on Hamlet’s side.
D. He fears for Hamlet’s safety.
