Answer:

A). To rig or unfairly influence an outcome.

C). To preserve a specimen for study.

Explanation:

The excerpt from T.S. Eliot's 'The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock' demonstrating the obsession of an old modern man with his own sense of vulnerability and insufficiency to deserve the woman he loves. This leads to developing a lower moral and self-esteem that serves him creating an image of himself portraying him to be inadequate('I am pinned and wriggling') to the requirements of women.

The two meanings of 'fix' suggested here could be 'to rig or unfairly influence an outcome' and 'to repair something that is damaged or broken' as he considers himself to be incompetent or deficient who needs to be 'repaired'. Thus, options A and C are the answers.

olga2289 [7]

Answer: The character of Polonius is complex because he practices deception in the Act III of Hamlet.

Explanation:

In the Act III of Hamlet, the character of Polonius is shown as a deceptive character. The proof for this is given in the excerpt. There was a deal made between Polonius and Claudius. According to this deal, Polonius was going to hide in the chamber of Gertrude. The reason for this hiding is that he wanted to hear the conversation between Hamlet and his mother and this can be done only by hiding himself.

Along with this of hearing the conversation by hiding himself in the chamber, he also wanted to convince Gertrude that Gertrude should not be so partial towards Hamlet . This made him have a deceptive character in the act and because of this he is said to have a character which is complex in the Act of Hamlet.
