Explanation:

First Sub - Question (Theme in Hamlet)

To determine the non - theme in "Hamlet", we analyze each option:

• "Sanity vs. Madness" is a key theme as Hamlet feigns madness and others' sanity is questioned.
• "Deception/Role - playing" is prominent, with characters like Hamlet and Claudius deceiving others.
• "Advice and Duty" is seen in the advice given to Hamlet and his duty to avenge his father.
• "Coming of age" is not a central theme of "Hamlet" as the play focuses more on revenge, madness, and moral corruption rather than the growth from childhood to adulthood.

We define each option:

• A "foil" is a character who contrasts with another to highlight traits, not a speech type.
• A "monologue" is a long speech by one character alone on stage, revealing inner thoughts, which matches the description.
• An "aside" is a short speech to the audience or another character, not a long solo speech.
• "Soliloquy" is a type of monologue where a character speaks their thoughts aloud, but the term "monologue" here (as per the option) fits the description of a long solo speech on stage.

Answer:

D. Coming of age
