Question

the tragedy of hamlet, prince of denmark
act v. scene i.
a churchyard.
enter two clowns, with spades and mattock.
first clown: is she to be buried in christian burial that wilfully seeks her
own salvation?
second clown: i tell thee she is; and therefore make her grave straight:
the crowner hath sat on her, and finds it christian burial.
first clown: how can that be, unless she drowned herself in her own
defence?
second clown: why, ’tis found so.
first clown: it must be se offendendo; it cannot be else. for here lies the
point: if i drown myself wittingly it argues an act; and an act hath three
branches; it is, to act, to do, and to perform: argal, she drowned herself
wittingly.
second clown: nay, but hear you, goodman delver,—
first clown: give me leave. here lies the water, good: here stands the
man, good: if the man go to this water, and drown himself, it is, will he,
nil he, he goes; mark you that? but if the water come to him, and drown
him, he drowns not himself: argal, he that is not guilty of his own death
shortens not his own life.
which is the best example of an objective summary of the theme “truth is
hard to discern” that is further developed in act v of hamlet?
when hamlet and laertes fight at ophelia’s grave,
each thinks he knows what the truth is. this scene
helps to further develop the theme “the real truth is
hard to see.”
by brawling at ophelia’s grave, hamlet and
laertes show they should both be locked up. this
scene helps to further develop the theme
“sometimes it’s hard to see the truth.”
it’s totally unreasonable that hamlet and laertes
start yelling about the truth at ophelia’s funeral.
this scene helps to further develop the theme
“some people can’t see the truth.”
at the funeral for ophelia, laertes and hamlet’s

Explanation:

An objective summary should focus on the theme (truth is hard to discern) and the relevant plot (Hamlet and Laertes at Ophelia's grave, each with their own view of truth). The first option does this, while others include subjective judgments (e.g., "should be locked up," "totally unreasonable") or misfocus the theme.

Answer:

When Hamlet and Laertes fight at Ophelia’s grave, each thinks he knows what the truth is. This scene helps to further develop the theme "the real truth is hard to see."
