Explanation:
Polonius sends Reynaldo to France to spy on Laertes, Polonius’s son. Polonius is concerned about Laertes’s behavior in France and wants to know if he is behaving appropriately and not bringing shame to the family. Polonius tells Reynaldo to spread false rumors about Laertes’s behavior to the people in France to see if they confirm or deny them. This shows Polonius’s manipulative nature and his desire to control his family’s reputation.
