Collapsible<span> is formed from the verb </span>collapse<span>, which comes from the Latin </span>collāpsus<span>, "fallen together." This makes sense, since something that is </span>collapsible<span> "falls" into a tighter, more compact size or shape. Of course, anything that is able to fall can be considered </span>collapsible<span>, but the word refers more to something that is intentionally made to fall, rather than something like a rickety building that might collapse.</span>

What does the author most likely mean by memory is an abstract painting
Nitella [24]
I'm not too sure but I will try. An abstract painting is a painting that isn't very clear to people or that doesn't depict a clear image (It doesn't make much sense to anyone but the person who drew it). When people remember stuff sometimes it isn't very clear, or if they try to explain it to someone else the other person doesn't understand it well, So all in all, I believe the author is trying to say that a memory is usually unclear or foreign to anyone but the person who had that memory.

In act 4 Sc. 1, Lines 97–105: What text reflects Macbeth’s ego and ambition?
Temka [501]
In these lines, Macbeth reacts to the witches telling him he cannot be beaten until "Great Birnam Wood to high Dunsinane Hill...come against him."

His lines reflect his ego and his ambition because he doesn't even stop to consider the possibility he could be beaten. He immediately says, "That will never be." He is so blinded by ambition that he dismisses the prophecy and looks forward to becoming king.

He says that may the woods never rise until "high-placed Macbeth...live the lease of nature." Here, Macbeth is saying that he foresees himself as king, dying a natural death (likely of old age). His ego and ambition blind him to any other possibility.
