    1. I believe the correct answer is: "I will receive it, sir, with all diligence of spirit."

    In Act V, scene II of William Shakespeare’s "Hamlet" (lines 82-90), Hamlet ridicules Osric’s way of speaking since Osric is a commoner, but has a lot of money and is therefore welcomed by the king. This is seen in lines:

    Osric: Sweet lord, if your lordship were at leisure, I should impart a thing to you from His Majesty. (My lord, if you have a free moment, I have a message from His Majesty.)

    Hamlet: I will receive it, sir, with all diligence of spirit. (I’ll hang on every word you say.)

    In later text, Hamlet ridicules Osric by confusing him with words and playing with him by changing his opinion oh heat.

    2. I believe the correct answer is: "Put your bonnet to his right use. ‘Tis for the head."

    Hamlet criticizes social custom of taking off the hat in front of the lord (or anyone you admire or that is hierarchically higher than your) in lines: "Put your bonnet to his right use. ‘Tis for the head". Hamlet tells Ostric to put his hat back on, where it belongs, bacuse hat is for the head, not arms.
