Question

read the excerpt from act 3, scene 5 of the tragedy of macbeth.
hecate. to the witches. and i, the mistress of your charms,
the close contriver of all harms,
was never calld to bear my part,
or show the glory of our art?
what mood does the alliteration in these lines help create?
○ anxious
○ bewildered
○ embarrassed
○ admonishing

Explanation:

Alliteration appears in phrases like "close contriver of all harms" (repetition of the hard "c" and "h" sounds). Hecate is scolding the witches for excluding her from their plans with Macbeth; the sharp, harsh alliterative sounds emphasize her critical, reproachful tone, which matches an admonishing mood. The other options do not fit: she is not worried (anxious), confused (bewildered), or flustered (embarrassed).

Answer:

D. admonishing
