Read the excerpt from Shakespeare's Hamlet. Then, answer the question that follows.

HAMLET
That I can keep your counsel and not mine own.
Besides, to be demanded of a sponge! what
replication should be made by the son of a king?

Using the context clues in the passage, what is the best paraphrase of the bolded line?

I do not need any help in these matters, for I am the son of a king.
I hope that I can have your advice and not have to simply rely on my own to make a decision.
I would like to be a counselor, because even though I cannot help myself, maybe I can help others.
Mine is the only voice I like to listen to; no one else sings better than me.
