This allusion to Neptune reveals the great depth of Macbeth's guilt, suggesting that all the water in the ocean cannot cleanse him of it. Option A is correct.

Dvinal [7]
Remember to include positive effects on having a cat aswell as negative effects. A positive effect could be, having a friend like a cat can boost mood. (Make sure you research and find eveidence where this can be supported, just look up on google how cats help with depression or something like that).
 A negative effect a cat can have would be they are moody sometimes and can scratch you. They aren't as loving as dogs and sometimes you seem like a servant. Always remember to have a opposite opinion paragraph when writing an essay.
