question 6 of 10
how does shakespeares use of the supernatural help create suspense in macbeth?
a. by offering comedic relief
b. by tying up any loose ends
c. by solving the main conflict
d. by playing on audiences fears

Explanation:

In Macbeth, the supernatural elements like the witches' prophecies and the ghost of Banquo play on the audience's fears. The audience is left in suspense as they wonder how the prophecies will unfold and what the consequences of Macbeth's actions (inspired by the supernatural) will be. Comedic relief (A) is not related to creating suspense. Tying up loose ends (B) and solving the main conflict (C) are more about resolution, not suspense creation.

Answer:

D. By playing on audiences’ fears
