Answer:

B). Lady Macbeth's ambition to see her husband become king.

Explanation:

The tragic flaw also known as 'hamartia', is demonstrated as the inherent flaw or defect in a character's personality that brings his/her downfall. It may include desire, guilt, or any other attributes taking the character towards destruction. For example, Dr. Faustus' desire to gain supreme knowledge led him to dam-nation. Similar happened with Macbeth where his desire to gain power and authority led to his tragic downfall while Hamlet met his tragic end due to his impotence to take action.

As per the given question and options, the option that exemplifies hamartia(tragic flaw) is option B(Lady  Macbeth's ambition to see her husband become king) marking the beginning of her tragic downfall and leaving Macbeth in an utter state of despair and hopelessness. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

ladessa [460]

The statement that describes the characterization correctly is narrator's description characterizes Robin Hood as generous (option D).

<h3>What is characterization?</h3>

Characterization is a term to refer to the action of determining the particular attributes of someone or something to distinguish it from others. You may refer to:

  • Characters
  • Fonts
  • Web pages
  • Companies
  • Products

According to the above, it can be inferred that the sentence that describes the characterization correctly is option D because the author delves into the characteristics of Robin Hood so that he can be distinguished as generous.

Note: This question is incomplete because the fragment is missing. Here is the fragment:

IN MERRY ENGLAND in the time of old, when good King Henry the Second ruled the land, there lived within the green glades of Sherwood Forest, near Nottingham Town, a famous outlaw whose name was Robin Hood. No archer ever lived that could speed a gray goose shaft with such skill and cunning as his, nor were there ever such yeomen as the sevenscore merry men that roamed with him through the greenwood shades. Right merrily they dwelled within the depths of Sherwood Forest, suffering neither care nor want, but passing the time in merry games of archery or bouts of cudgel play, living upon the King's venison, washed down with draughts of ale of October brewing. Not only Robin himself but all the band were outlaws and dwelled apart from other men, yet they were beloved by the country people round about, for no one ever came to jolly Robin for help in time of need and went away again with an empty fist. And now I will tell how it came about that Robin Hood fell afoul of the law. When Robin was a youth of eighteen, stout of sinew and bold of heart, the Sheriff of Nottingham proclaimed a shooting match and offered a prize of a butt of ale to whosoever should shoot the best shaft in Nottinghamshire. "Now," quoth Robin, "will I go too, for fain would I draw a string for the bright eyes of my lass and a butt of good October brewing." So up he got and took his good stout yew bow and a score or more of broad clothyard arrows, and started off from Locksley Town through Sherwood Forest to Nottingham.
