Lady Macbeth’s soliloquy creates suspense by making readers wonder whether Macbeth has carried out the murder, as stated in option A and explained below.
<h3>What is suspense?</h3>
We say an author creates suspense when he or she leaves readers curious about what will happen next in the story. That is what Shakespeare does in the excerpt from Lady Macbeth's soliloquy that we are analyzing here.
The excerpt reveals the following:
- Lady Macbeth was supposed to murder the king.
- She was able to drug the guards to make them fall asleep.
- She did not kill the king because he looked like her father.
- She is unsure as to whether her husband was able to kill the king or not.
- She is afraid the guards have woken up.
Thus, readers are left wondering whether Macbeth has carried out the murder. Lady Macbeth reveals only enough to make readers curious, which means suspense is created.
With the information above in mind, we can choose option A as the correct answer.

Question 1:
Humorous passage 1: "It (the umbrella) was made to be carried on the arm like an enormous ornamental bat and to allow one the opportunity to put on British airs as the atmospheric conditions demanded."
Humorous passage 2: "(The umbrella is) An item to be carried in the street, to be used to startle friends and—in the worst of cases—to fend off one’s creditors."
Question 2:
Passage 1 is funny because it compares the umbrella to an ornamental bat, which sounds weird in the first place. Plus, the umbrellas is said to be used by people who want to seem British, which is even more outrageously funny.
Passage 2 is funny because it treats the umbrella as a scary object which can be used even to fend off people you owe money to, which is absurd.
In both passages, the author uses tone and voice in a very witty way: he speaks seriously about absurdity, about unimaginable stuff. It is like an encyclopedia of weird and fun facts. That is what makes it funny: the contrast between a serious tone and larger than life images.
