Answer 1

Macbeth persuades two murderers to go after Banquo by threatening their lives.

Step-by-step explanation:

Macbeth persuades the two murderers to go after Banquo by threatening their lives. In Act III, Scene 2, Macbeth meets the murderers and convinces them to carry out the murder of Banquo by playing on their fears and manipulating them with the idea that Banquo is their enemy.

Macbeth appeals to their desire for revenge and convinces them that killing Banquo is the only way to protect themselves and secure their own future.
