These lines are uttered by Macbeth at the very beginning of the play, specifically Act I, scene IV. At that time, the witches’ prophecy a already been revealed to him and although he already somewhat believes it, the realization of its meaning is growing within his mind, spurred by a burning ambition. However, although he has not yet decided to murder the King, he already understands that since the King already has two sons, and he names Malcolm, his elder son as The Prince of Cumberland and his heir to the throne. This of course ignites the “fire” within Macbeth’s mind since it contradicts the prophecy. Indeed, if King Duncan has already named an heir, how will he become King?
Of course, to event openly disclose such musings in front of the King, his heir and his court will immediately amount to treason for they declare that Macbeth covets the throne and that he sees the official heir as either a means for his own ambition or an obstacle to be eliminated. He therefore decides to only break the fourth wall and only tell the audience, foreshadowing the later developments of the play.

Hi. Although you submitted a text, you did not submit any questions regarding it. This prevents me from giving you any answers. However, to help you out, I'll explain what the text presented means. Hope it's useful.
The text posed in the question above is an excerpt from "Of Plymouth Plantation" written by William Bradford, where he presents a real account of the life of the first English settlers, recently arrived in America. In this excerpt, he shows how the arrival in America was very challenging for all the settlers. They had already faced problems on the way between England and America and when they arrived in the new world, they landed in a place where there was no one to help them with anything. The settlers had neither house nor food, they had to face the harsh winter without any resources to protect them, they did not know any place they could shelter and lived in constant concern about being attacked by the "savages", that is, the natives.
Answer:
National All-Truth Day
Explanation:
The first Thursday for every month will be celebrated in honoring the meaning of "ironic truth". To participate in this holiday, a tradition called "Writing between the Meanings" which is a document of all of the lies and truths you've said to people and self, which will be valuable in this holiday. You'll spend the whole day telling these lies and truths in different forms of irony. The whole point of National All-Truth Day is to express ones truths and lies, without being blunt about it.
A common ritual during this time would be called "the comic irony" which would take place with people you know (friends and family). The comic irony is a close relative to "two truths and a lie and sarcasm". The two truths you decide to tell about someone who is present can only be told through funny ironic sarcasm. And the lies you tell about yourself must only be a ironically morbid jokes. When the day is done and you have successfully gotten through of of the social activities with hurting others or your own feelings. Your family and friends will nickname you based on how quickly witty you are. (:
I believe your answer is the 4th choice: Will.
Since it's a question, "will" makes sense, but if it's a statement (ending with a period (.)) I'd go with "should."
