Explanation:

• For the first question: In Macbeth, Macbeth is ambitious (tempted by the witches' prophecy of him becoming king) but also has a moral side (afraid of the guilt from murdering Duncan). The option "He is tempted by ambition, but he is afraid of how wrongdoing will affect his conscience" captures this internal conflict.
• For the second question: "The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be / Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see" shows Macbeth's internal struggle. He is about to commit a terrible act (the hand - the action) and his eye (his conscience) is afraid to see the result, but he still proceeds.

Answer:

First question: He is tempted by ambition, but he is afraid of how wrongdoing will affect his conscience.
Second question: The eye wink at the hand; yet let that be / Which the eye fears, when it is done, to see.
