The purpose was to predict what's going to happen. It was a foreshadow that Banquo will be lesser than Macbeth and greater as well. The weather sets the mood, the witches hails him "Thane of Glamis," <span>"Thane of Cawdor," and that he shall "be King hereafter" also.</span>

Answer:

The first scene in the play is to foreshadow the coming scenes and how Macbeth will be king.

Explanation:

The first act of the play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare shows the three witches predicting the rise of Macbeth first as Thane of Glamis and Cawdor and then he will become the king of Scotland. It also shows the prediction for Banquo's rise as well, with his future generation becoming the king of Scotland. This scene/act acts as a foreshadowing for the upcoming scenes. It foreshadows and predicts how Banquo will be lesser than his friend Macbeth but at the same time be greater than him too.

What do Rudyard Kipling's works reveal about his political views?
Alborosie

The correct answer is the letter "A) He favored colonization by the British".

This can be seen in "The White Man's Burden" which is Kipling's shortest work. But those seven stanzas made the poem emblematic and most criticized to this day.  

The poem's message was simple enough: Kipling justified colonization not by the search for and exploitation of natural resources, but rather as a necessity to bring "civilization" to the most "backward" places on the planet.  

For him, european languages, Christian religion, techniques, education, medicine and even notions of hygiene should be taken to the "savages," that is, the non-whites. This was the "burden", the difficult and weighty mission of the "civilized" white man to the "sad people, half child, half demon".
