Answer:

The purpose of the porter scene is to create a heavy atmosphere and to herald the betrayal Macbeth will do to King Duncan.

Explanation:

This question is about Macbeth. Where the porter scene refers to the moment when he makes a joke about him he is guarding the gates of hell. This may serve to give a certain relief to me with the scenes that will follow, but it is also a subjunctive way of foreshadowing the homicide that will be established, in addition to creating a heavy atmosphere in the work. The porter also says that he is opening the gates for the soldiers who "carousing till the second c**k" this alludes to the c**k that sang when Peter denied and betrayed Christ three times, foreshadowing the betrayal that Macbeth would do to King Duncan.

In which one of the following sentences is the simple subject also the complete subject?
Brrunno [24]
Hi, I'd sat that the correct answer is B. A cannot be correct, because the simple subject would be "dinosaurs", whereas the complete subject is "large and small dinosaurs", they don't match. C is a similar case - simple subject is "detectives", whereas the complete subject would be "detectives Homer Fry and Janine Small:. In D - simple subject is "crocodiles", whereas the complete subject is "crocodiles, quiet as logs". That leaves us with only one solution - "Cory" is both a simple and a complete subject.
