PLEASE HELP FAST!!!

Please use the following passage from act V, scene i to answer question 1.

LADY MACBETH
Here's the smell of the blood still. All the perfumes of
Arabia will not sweeten this little hand. Oh, Oh, Oh!

DOCTOR
What a sigh is there! The heart is sorely charged.

GENTLEWOMAN
I would not have such a heart in my bosom for the
dignity of the whole body.

DOCTOR
This disease is beyond my practice. Yet I have
known those which have walked in their sleep who
have died holily in their beds.

LADY MACBETH
To bed, to bed. There's knocking at the gate. Come,
come, come, come. Give me your hand. What's done
cannot be undone.—To bed, to bed, to bed!

DOCTOR
Foul whisp'rings are abroad. Unnatural deeds
Do breed unnatural troubles. Infected minds
To their deaf pillows will discharge their secrets.
More needs she the divine than the physician.

Question 1 (1 point)
What has the doctor learned from his observations of Lady Macbeth? (ELA.10.R.1.2)

Question 1 options:

Nothing can be done and Lady Macbeth is beyond hope.


She needs a priest and not a doctor to cure her ills.


The knocking she believes caused by Banquo can be healed with better, more restful sleep.


Hallucinations of blood on her hands will go away with help from the Gentlewoman.

Please use the following passage from act V, scene ii to answer question 2.

ANGUS
Now does he feel
His secret murders sticking on his hands.
Now minutely revolts upbraid his faith-breach.
Those he commands move only in command,
Nothing in love. Now does he feel his title
Hang loose about him, like a giant's robe
Upon a dwarfish thief.

CAITHNESS
Well, march we on,
To give obedience where 'tis truly owed.
Meet we the medicine of the sickly weal,
And with him pour we in our country's purge
Each drop of us.

LENNOX
Or so much as it needs,
To dew the sovereign flower and drown the weeds.
Make we our march towards Birnam.

Question 2 (1 point)
Which phrase best describes Caithness and Lennox as they march towards Birnam? (ELA.10.R.1.2)

Question 2 options:

Furious Anger. Macbeth's "secret murders" are now common knowledge and drive the men forward.


Righteous Courage. They will sacrifice their own lives to aid Malcom against Macbeth.


Dutiful Obligation. Soldiers only "move in command, nothing in love" fighting for Malcolm.


Intense Guilt. They feel responsible for rebel armies seeking justice against Macbeth's "faith-breach".

Answer 1:

Based on the passage, the doctor has learned that Lady Macbeth's condition is beyond his medical expertise, and that she needs spiritual or divine intervention rather than physical treatment. The doctor comments that "This disease is beyond my practice" and "More needs she the divine than the physician". Therefore, the correct option is: She needs a priest and not a doctor to cure her ills.

Answer 2:

The phrase that best describes Caithness and Lennox as they march towards Birnam is "Dutiful Obligation". They are marching to fulfill their duty to their country and their rightful king, Malcolm, who is leading the rebellion against Macbeth's tyrannical rule. The lines "To give obedience where 'tis truly owed" and "Make we our march towards Birnam" suggest that they are following orders and fighting out of a sense of loyalty and obligation to their cause, rather than out of personal anger or guilt. Therefore, the correct option is: Dutiful Obligation.
