What does Gertrude tell Claudius after Hamlet has killed Polonius?
Claudius does not ask Hamlet what he has done with Polonius, although Rosencrantz and Guildenstern do. He asks Hamlet where Polonius is. His lines are "Now, Hamlet, where's Polonius?" and "Where is Polonius?". Hamlet answers, first that Polonius is at supper (not where he eats but where he is eaten) and second that Polonius is in heaven (where Claudius cannot go to find him). Then he adds, "But if indeed you find him not within this month you shall nose him as you go up the stairs into the lobby."
What sentence do you think Hamlet specifically intended polonius to hear?
I assume we are discounting the various lines which Hamlet directs to Polonius' questions in the three scenes where he has a conversation with him: "Words, words, words", "You cannot, sir, take from me anything which I would more willingly part withal", "Do you see yonder cloud which is in the shape of a camel?", "Have you a daughter?", "Buz, buz", "O Jeptha, judge of Israel, what a treasure had thou?" I think Hamlet intended Polonius to hear all these lines. I doubt if he intended Polonius to hear the things he said to Gertrude in the closet scene, even though Polonius did hear them. There are other things which Hamlet says which Polonius overhears which he might have intended Polonius to overhear. The line "These tedious old fools!" is one. The entire soliloquy "To be or not to be" and some or all of the scene with Ophelia which follows is another. The line "Where is your father?" suggests that at least at this point Hamlet is aware of Polonius and intends him to hear.

Presume that Hamlet did know that Polonius was listening to his talk with Ophelia What sentence do you think Hamlet might have specifically intended Polonius to hear?
In this hypothetical scenario, if Hamlet knew that Polonius was eavesdropping on his conversation with Ophelia, he might have intended for Polonius to hear the line, "Get thee to a nunnery." This statement could be interpreted as a deliberate attempt by Hamlet to convey his contempt for the corrupt world and his disillusionment with Ophelia, while also serving as a veiled criticism of Polonius and the court. Hamlet's words could be seen as a reflection of his inner turmoil and his disdain for the deceit and manipulation surrounding him.
What is hamlet reading as he encounters and then taunts polonius?
Hamlet insults Polonius on multiple occassions (generally along the lines of him being old, or incompitant), however one of the most memorable ways Hamlet insults Polonius is by calling him a "fish-monger", which in modern terms would be the equivilant of calling him a "pimp".
What cause does Polonius give for Hamlets madness?
Polonius is sure that Hamlet has gone mad with love for Ophelia. See these lines by Polonius in Act 2 scene 1: ~Polonius: Come, go with me! I will go seek the King;This is the very ecstasy of love,...Ophelia: ... I did repel his letters, and denied His access to me.Polonius: That hath made him mad;~ So Polonius thinks Hamlet is suffering from the "ecstasy of love" for Ophelia, which has driven him mad.
