Explanation:

Question 3

To answer this, we analyze Prince Humperdinck's actions regarding royal duties (e.g., prioritizing personal interests like hunting over governance, using power for self - gain). His neglect of proper rule - related tasks (like diplomacy, caring for subjects) shows he is selfish, power - hungry, and disinterested in true leadership. He focuses on his own pleasures (like the Zoo of Death and hunting) rather than fulfilling royal obligations, revealing a corrupt, self - centered, and tyrannical character.

The author may make Chapter 2 short for several reasons. It could create contrast with the long, detailed Chapter 1 to emphasize a shift (e.g., in narrative pace, focus). A short chapter might highlight a key, concise event or moment (like a sudden action, a pivotal decision) that doesn't need extensive detail. It could also build tension (by slowing or quickening pace), or focus on a single, impactful scene after the detailed character introductions in Chapter 1, to draw attention to a crucial plot point or character interaction.

Answer:

Prince Humperdinck’s handling of royal responsibilities (prioritizing personal pursuits like hunting, using power for self - serving goals, neglecting governance) reveals he is selfish, power - hungry, and disinterested in true leadership, with a corrupt and tyrannical nature.
