Which event from acts ii and iii demonstrates the recurring motif of "fair is foul, and foul is fair"? a. banquo doesn't commit any crime but is murdered at macbeth's command. b. macbeth sees banquo's ghost at the banquet and tries to defend himself. c. lady macbeth drugs the king's guard to allow macbeth to kill duncan. d. hecate is angry at the three witches and yells at them for their disobedience.

A.

Explanation:

The phrase 'Fair is Foul, and Foul is Fair' is a paradox that means that appearances may be deceptive.

In Acts II and III in the play, this motif recurs when Banquo was murdered by the murderers at the command of Macbeth. At this point in the plot, Macbeth convinces the killers that Banquo is their enemy.

The motif recurs in these Acts as Macbeth, to achieve his ambition of becoming the king, again plot a murder, this time of Banquo.

So, the correct answer is option A.

1. frequently pointless arguments

In the passage, it says, "You're quite incapable of talking seriously...today and every other day." This shows that their arguments are pointless because of the lack of seriousness. We also know this is a frequent occurrence because it says it happens every day.

2. setting

The rhinoceros can not be indicative of the time and place which is the definition of setting.

3. where my cousin attends

An adjectival clause describes a noun. The phrase "where my cousin attends" describes which school the narrator is talking about.

4. earrings

The adjectival clause "that have gold posts" describes which earrings Jill is wearing.

5. subject

The relative pronoun is "who" and it is the subject of "loved teaching".
