Answer:

B. Macbeth sees a dagger that disappears.

Explanation:

In Act II Scene 1 of Shakespeare's Macbeth, we witness a premonitory scene.

<u>A premonitory scene refers to an event, a vision, or a dream that helps the character or the reader guess what is going to happen in the future.</u>

In this passage, Macbeth sees a dagger , <em>the handle toward his hand</em>. This precise position indicates that <em>Macbeth will use the dagger as a weapon.</em>

<em>The handle toward my hand? Come, let me clutch thee. </em>

<em>I have thee not</em><em>, and yet I see thee still </em>

<em>Art thou not </em><em>fatal vision</em><em>, sensible </em>

<em>To feeling as to sight? or art thou </em><em>but </em>

<em>A dagger of the mind, a false creation</em><em>, </em>

<em>Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?</em>

The words in bold affirm that the dagger Macbeth sees is only a hallucination, that it is not real. It is but a projection of his mind knowing what will come next.
