as act ii of the tragedy of macbeth closes, which of the following are revealed? choose three options.
□ ross and macduff suspect macbeth of some kind of wrongdoing.
□ macbeth is about to be crowned king.
□ malcolm and donalbain are suspects in duncan’s murder.
□ lady macbeth has recovered from her sudden illness.
□ funeral arrangements for duncan have not yet been made.
□ animals are acting in bizarre ways.
□ the old man’s prediction has come true.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option based on Act II of Macbeth:

1. Ross and Macduff suspect Macbeth: In Act II, Ross and Macduff’s interactions and the context of Duncan’s murder imply suspicion toward Macbeth.
2. Macbeth is about to be crowned king: After Duncan’s death, Macbeth is next in line for the throne, so this is revealed.
3. Animals are acting in bizarre ways: The Old Man and Ross discuss unnatural events (e.g., horses eating each other), showing bizarre animal behavior.

Other options are incorrect: Malcolm and Donalbain flee (not suspects), Lady Macbeth feigns grief (no recovery), funeral arrangements for Duncan are being made, and the old man’s prediction (about unnatural events, not “come true” in a direct sense here).

Answer:

A. Ross and Macduff suspect Macbeth of some kind of wrongdoing
B. Macbeth is about to be crowned king
C. Animals are acting in bizarre ways
