Explanation:
The lines selected above show how Lady Macbeth questions her husband's ability to be ruthless and assassinate King Duncan for his own benefit. Lady Macbeth acknowledges that her husband is soft-hearted, with little ambition, and that he will fear to assassinate the king for selfish reasons. However, Lady Macbeth stands as a counterpoint to her husband's passivity and proves merciless and cruel, being the main responsible for making him assassinate the king and become the new king.
The excerpt shown above belongs to the play "Macbeth" written by Shakespeare. This play shows how Macbeth, after usurping King Duncan's throne, is haunted by his own sins, until the day of his defeat.

This question is missing the answer options. I have found the complete question online. It is the following:
Which poetic techniques are illustrated in the opening lines “I am fourteen/and my skin has betrayed me/the boy I cannot live without/still sucks his thumb/in secret”?
A. alliteration and metaphor
B. allusion and alliteration
C. apostrophe and simile
D. personification and enjambment
Answer:
The poetic techniques illustrated in the lines are:
D. personification and enjambment
Explanation:
Personification is a literary device in which human actions and characteristics are attributed to inanimate objects. We have personification in lines of the poem we are analyzing here, in "my skin has betrayed me." Of course, there is no way for someone's skin to "betray" anyone. Skin is not a sentient being. This is just a way the author has found of implying something else, with a deeper meaning.
Enjambment happens when a sentence does not end with the line, but keeps on going into the next one. That is what we have in "the boy I cannot live without/still sucks his thumb/in secret," where one sentence is spread across three lines.
