erpreting figurative language
s excerpt, macbeth is speaking to the witches.
ebeth. i conjure you, by that which you
ess,
veer you come to know it, answer me:
ugh you untie the winds and let them fight
inst the churches; though the yesty waves
found and swallow navigation up
-the tragedy of macbeth,
william shakespear
read the passage. what does macbeth mean when he says to let the winds \fight / against the churches\?
○ let a windstorm blow against church buildings.
○ let armies attack the churches of scotland.
○ let church leaders pray against the windstorm.
○ let scotlands armies defend churches against the witches.

Explanation:

The phrase uses literal figurative language: "untie the winds" refers to releasing wind forces, and "fight against the churches" describes the winds (as a storm) battering church buildings. The other options incorrectly introduce armies, prayer, or defense against witches, which are not referenced in the line.

Answer:

Let a windstorm blow against church buildings.
