Comprehension Passage
Read the extract given below and answer the questions that follow.
"To be, or not to be, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die: to sleep;
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause: there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life;"
What does Hamlet mean by "perchance to dream" in the context of dying?

The certainty of fulfilling unachieved dreams in life
2
The hope of a better life after death

The uncertainty of what comes after death

The desire to escape reality through dreams
