Which of the following lines from act i of hamlet provides exposition? select all that apply.

[hamlet] but two months dead! —nay, not so much, not two: / so excellent a king
[claudius] though yet of hamlet our dear brother's death / the memory be green; and that it us befitted / to bear our hearts in grief, our whole kingdom / to be contracted in one brow of woe
[ghost] thus was i, sleeping, by a brother's hand / of life, of crown, of queen, at once despatch'd
[laertes] fear it, ophelia, fear it, my dear sister; / and keep within the rear of your affection, / out of the shot and danger of desire

One can find exposition in Hamlet's lines ("But two months dead!—nay, not so much, not two: / So excellent a king"), since he is laying out the facts that makes the wedding of Claudius and Gertrudis so scandalous, and in the Ghost's lines ("Thus was I, sleeping, by a brother's hand / Of life, of crown, of queen, at once despatch'd"), since he is revealing the truth of his death to Hamlet. Claudius's lines are part of a complex speech aiming to persuade his court of the righteousness of his actions, while Laertes's lines are a direct command to his sister; neither are exposition in the classic sense.
