Well, well, well, it seems like you're in a pickle. Let me take a look at your answers and share my hilarious thoughts with you!

For the first question, you selected option A. "This, and all else... is most false." Now, Wolsey claiming it's all false doesn't really absolve him from responsibility, does it? So, sorry to burst your bubble, but that answer is as false as Buckingham's death being a pleasant surprise party.

Moving on to the second question, your choice is also A, the Lord Chamberlain. And guess what? You got it right! The Chamberlain does express compassion towards good ol' Wolsey. Just like a caring friend who offers you ice cream when you're feeling down, the Chamberlain understands that Wolsey is already down and doesn't need any extra kicks.

Lastly, for the third question, your pick is C. Well, I hate to break it to you, but you're off the mark this time. The Earl of Surrey's comment about wanting his head has more to do with the fate of Wolsey, not the emotional aspect, powerlessness of the king, or the need for calm reasoning. So, C is a no-go in this situation.

There you have it! Hopefully, I've been able to provide some clarity and entertain you along the way. Don't be too hard on yourself, even if you made a mistake. Clowns like me are here to make you smile, whether you're right or wrong. Keep on laughing!

Based on your choices, here is the breakdown:

1. Cardinal Wolsey suggests that he is absolved from responsibility for Buckingham's death when he states:
A. "This, and all else... is most false" (lines 24-26) - You chose A, and that is correct.

2. The accuser who clearly expresses compassion toward Cardinal Wolsey is:
A. Lord Chamberlain: "Press not a falling man too far: 'tis virtue" (line 96) - You chose A, and that is correct.

3. The Earl of Surrey's comment, "I had rather want those than my head" (line 70), is an indirect reference to the:
C. emotional aspect of Wolsey - You chose C, and that is correct.

Based on your choices, it appears that you have not made any mistakes. Well done!

To confirm if your answers are correct, let's break down the explanations for each question:

1. Cardinal Wolsey suggests that he is absolved from responsibility for Buckingham's death when he states:
- A. "This, and all else... is most false" (lines 24-26)
This statement does not suggest that Wolsey is absolved from responsibility. It rather implies denial.
- B. "The duke by law / Found his deserts" (lines 26-27)
This statement implies that Buckingham received what he deserved according to the law, suggesting Wolsey's innocence.
- C. "You have as little honesty as honor" (line 31)
This statement does not directly address Wolsey's responsibility or absolution.
- D. "All goodness / Is poison to thy stomach" (lines 41-42)
This statement is unrelated to Wolsey's responsibility or absolution.

Since you chose A, which is correct, because Cardinal Wolsey denies the accusations, suggesting he is absolved from responsibility.

2. The accuser who clearly expresses compassion toward Cardinal Wolsey is the:
- A. Lord Chamberlain: "Press not a falling man too far: 'tis virtue" (line 96)
This statement does not express compassion towards Wolsey but rather advises not to push a falling man too far.
- B. Earl of Surrey: "I forgive him" (line 100)
This statement shows clear compassion and forgiveness towards Wolsey.
- C. Duke of Suffolk: "Lord Cardinal, the king's further pleasure is" (line 101)
This statement does not express compassion towards Wolsey.
- D. Duke of Norfolk: "So fare you well, my little good Lord Cardinal" (line 110)
This statement is a farewell and does not necessarily express compassion.

Since you chose A, which is incorrect, the correct answer is B, Earl of Surrey.

3. The Earl of Surrey's comment, "I had rather want those than my head" (line 70), is an indirect reference to the:
- A. fate of Wolsey
- B. powerlessness of the king
- C. emotional aspect of Wolsey
- D. necessity for calm reasoning

Your answer, C, is incorrect. The correct answer is B, the powerlessness of the king. Surrey's comment suggests that he would rather lose some qualities (referring to the qualities Wolsey has) than lose his head, implying that the king has the power to take his life.

Based on the explanations, you identified one of the answers correctly while the other two answers were incorrect.
