In the given passage, <em>globe</em> can be best described as a <em>head.</em>
Explanation:
The passage you were given is from the play <em>Hamlet </em>(full title: <em>The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark</em>), written by English poet, playwright, and actor William Shakespeare between 1599 and 1602. In the fifth scene of the first act, Hamlet says:
<em>Remember thee! Ay, thou poor ghost, while memory holds a seat In this distracted </em><em>globe</em><em>. </em>
In this scene, Hamlet speaks with the ghost, who claims to be his father's spirit and tells about how he was murdered in a <em>foul and most unnatural</em> way by his own brother, Claudius, who has successfully taken his throne. He is desperate as he is incapable of taking revenge and asks Hamlet to do that for him. This moves Hamlet, who swears to take revenge on his uncle. The word <em>globe </em>Hamlet uses here actually means <em>head.</em>

Answer:
The excerpt that provides the most details about the main characters' lives outside the railway station is:
D. "He did not say anything but looked at the bags against the wall of the station. There were labels on them from all the hotels where they had spent nights."
Explanation:
"Hills Like White Elephants" by Ernest Hemingway is a short story revolving around the conflict between the two main characters. <u>They are a couple - apparently, unmarried -, and she is pregnant. However, their lifestyle will be greatly affected if she has the child. They live an easy life, comprised mainly of traveling and drinking, as the excerpt reveals:</u>
<em><u>"He did not say anything but looked at the bags against the wall of the station. There were labels on them from all the hotels where they had spent nights."</u></em>
<u>The passage above reveals they travel a lot in each other's company. We do not know much about their lives besides that revelation - what their professions are, why they have the means to travel so much, etc.</u>
She is tired of such a life. She sees it as meaningless, pointless. He, on the other hand, does not want to be disturbed or concerned by the existence of a child. He defends the idea that they are happy the way they are, and that nothing should change.
<span>The excerpt suggests that Johnson’s work is significant because it reflects an exhaustive study of its words.
In the excerpt above, Johnson says that he used many methods in order to compile this dictionary - he read a lot of books, used his experience, and used many analogies for readers to connect words and their meanings on their own. A is incorrect because that's not the point of a dictionary; B is incorrect because he doesn't even mention other dictionaries; D is incorrect because a dictionary cannot only list obscure words.
