Read the excerpt from Act I of Hamlet. Hamlet: Alas! poor ghost. Ghost: Pity me not, but lend thy serious hearing To what I shall unfold. Hamlet: Speak; I am bound to hear. Which is the best adaptation of the underlined part of the excerpt? but do not mock what I am going to say but listen closely to what I am going to say but try not to listen to what I am going to say but allow me to listen to what you are going to say

"But listen closely to what I am going to say"

The best adaptation is "but listen closely to what I am going to say". Taken from the SCENE V of "Act I of Hamlet" by William Shakespeare, in the clause "but lend thy serious hearing To what I shall unfold" the Ghost asks Hamlet to listen carefully to what he has to say. The other options mention misunderstood adaptations of the clause mentioned before, either by introducing a verb that changes the meaning of the clause ("mock" / "allow") or by introducing a negation not present in the original clause ("try not to listen").
