Question

1. how does lady macbeth react to duncans murder?

a. she is seized by a violent frenzy.
b. she keeps her cool and takes charge when macbeth falters.
c. she is overcome by grief because the sleeping king resembles her late father.

Explanation:

To answer this, we recall Lady Macbeth's character in Shakespeare's Macbeth. When Duncan is murdered, Macbeth is shaken, but Lady Macbeth remains composed and directs him (e.g., to put the daggers back, clean up). Option a is incorrect as she isn't in a frenzy. Option c is incorrect as there's no indication she's overcome by grief over resemblance to her father; instead, she's focused on the plan. Option b matches her actions—she stays calm and takes charge when Macbeth falters.

Answer:

b. She keeps her cool and takes charge when Macbeth falters.
