Macduff?
(1 point)
Banquo has been killed.
He and Malcolm are in grave danger.
He needs to save Scotland from Macbeth.
Macbeth has lost his mind.
The answer is: He and Malcolm are in grave danger.
In Macbeth, Lennox wants to send a message to Macduff that he and Malcolm are in grave danger.
To determine the correct answer, we can refer to the text of Macbeth. In Act 3, Scene 6, Lennox says to Macduff, "The night has been unruly. Where we lay, Our chimneys were blown down; and, as they say, Lamentings heard i' the air; strange screams of death, And prophesying with accents terrible Of dire combustion and confused events New hatch'd to the woeful time: the obscure bird Clamour'd the livelong night: some say, the earth Was feverous and did shake." (3.6.1-8)
From this dialogue, it can be inferred that Lennox wants to convey the message to Macduff that he and Malcolm (the rightful heir to the throne) are in grave danger. Therefore, the correct answer is: He and Malcolm are in grave danger.
