1. To determine the correct answer, we need to analyze the events in Macbeth that led to Lady Macbeth's intense remorse and guilt. Lady Macbeth begins to feel guilt after she and her husband, Macbeth, conspire to kill King Duncan. This is evident in Act 2, Scene 2, when she says, "My hands are of your color, but I shame / To wear a heart so white." Therefore, the correct answer is not D, Lady Macduff's murder, but A, Macbeth kills Banquo. Lady Macbeth's guilt intensifies because she is indirectly responsible for Banquo's murder and had a role in encouraging Macbeth to commit the act.

2. To identify an example of verbal irony among the given choices, we must understand that verbal irony occurs when a character says something but means the opposite. Let's examine the options:
A. Macbeth saying, "O, yet I do repent me of my fury, that did kill them" is not a clear example of verbal irony. Macbeth is expressing genuine remorse, not saying the opposite of what he means.
B. Macduff referring to Lady Macbeth as "O gentle lady," despite his knowledge of her involvement in the murder, can indeed be considered verbal irony. Macduff is using a sarcastic or ironic tone.
C. Macduff exclaiming "O horror, horror, horror" is not an example of verbal irony since it reflects his genuine reaction to a horrific event.
D. The witches saying "fair is foul and foul is fair" is an example of paradox, not verbal irony.

Given these explanations, the correct answer is indeed B, Macduff referring to Lady Macbeth as "O gentle lady."

3. To identify the similarities between Macbeth and Faustus, we must consider their character traits and tragic journeys.
A. Being brave and strong is not a specific similarity shared by Macbeth and Faustus as there are countless characters who possess such qualities.
B. While both Macbeth and Faustus possess some form of power, this alone is not enough to establish a strong similarity between them.
C. Macbeth and Faustus both have tragic flaws of ambition. Macbeth's ambition leads him to commit heinous acts to gain and maintain power, ultimately leading to his downfall. Faustus's ambition for knowledge and power leads him to make a pact with the devil, resulting in his own damnation. This choice fits the question best.

Therefore, the correct answer is indeed C, Macbeth and Faustus have tragic flaws of ambition.
