Answer:

Betrayal.

Explanation:

The tragic play "Macbeth" by William Shakespeare is a story of the greed and selfish desire of Macbeth in becoming king and getting power for himself. Though not a king by birth, with the persuasion and constant manipulation by his power-loving wife, Macbeth commits even the most treacherous acts to gain power and become the king of Scotland.

Act 1 of the play mostly deal with the theme of the betrayal by Macbeth. It was the scene where he and Banquo met the three witches, hear about the prophecies and the eventual selfish greediness in Macbeth began to grow. The act of King Duncan in declaring Macbeth as the Thane of Cawdor confirms the truth of the witches' prophecy for Macbeth, thereby luring him into further self-desire wiles. He now only thinks of his own future, considering Malcolm as the obstacle between him and the crown. The first scene of Act 1 may have introduced Macbeth as a good general of the Scottish king but by scene 4, he was already planning his own kingship, even considering the king's son and heir, Malcolm as the enemy. This is the start of the betrayal of Duncan by Macbeth.

9. Which word has a negative connotation?<br><br> standpoint<br> view<br> perspective<br> bias
Serga [27]
Connotation is the emotion that a word incites in someone. It doesn't have to do with the word's actual definition, (denotation) but is very important to its usage.

The words "puppy" and "doggy" have a good connotation, making them sound cute and diminuitive.

The words "mutt" and "hound" have a bad connotation, which makes them sound dangerous.

The words mean the same thing (they have the same denotation) but the sentence changes a lot depending on which one you choose.

As for the examples you gave, "standpoint," "view," and "perspective" are all pretty neutral. (not good or bad) However, a "bias" is a view which is clouded by something, usually personal interest. Note that not only is the connotation of this word different, but the denotation is too.

I believe it would be A.

In the White Fang excerpt, it describes the animals pulling the sled as "wolfish dogs" with bristly fur and harnesses. The sled dog history also says they are "certainly part wolf", and also of mixed breeds.
