The play begins with the brief appearance of a trio of witches and then moves to a military camp, where the Scottish King Duncan hears the news that his generals, Macbeth and Banquo, have defeated two separate invading armies—one from Ireland, led by the rebel Macdonwald, and one from Norway. Following their pitched battle with these enemy forces, Macbeth and Banquo encounter the witches as they cross a moor. The witches prophesy that Macbeth will be made thane (a rank of Scottish nobility) of Cawdor and eventually King of Scotland. They also prophesy that Macbeth’s companion, Banquo, will beget a line of Scottish kings, although Banquo will never be king himself. The witches vanish, and Macbeth and Banquo treat their prophecies skeptically until some of King Duncan’s men come to thank the two generals for their victories in battle and to tell Macbeth that he has indeed been named thane of Cawdor. The previous thane betrayed Scotland by fighting for the Norwegians and Duncan has condemned him to death. Macbeth is intrigued by the possibility that the remainder of the witches’ prophecy—that he will be crowned king—might be true, but he is uncertain what to expect. He visits with King Duncan, and they plan to dine together at Inverness, Macbeth’s castle, that night. Macbeth writes ahead to his wife, Lady Macbeth, telling her all that has happened.
Answer:
The correct answer is <u>A</u>: He has to whitewash a fence and does not want to.
Explanation:
One morning, Aunt Polly asks Tom to whitewash a fence. Tom does not want to do it, and he tries to convince Jim to do it instead of him when Aunt Polly arrives and says Tom has to do it by himself. However, Tom manages to convince another boy, Ben Rogers, to do it instead of him. Ben accepts and gives Tom an apple in exchange because Tom convinced him that whitewashing a fence is a task only for privileged boys.
By the end of the day, the fence is whitewashed and Tom gets a lot of different things from each boy who tried to whitewash a fence.
