○ the thane of cawdor will not be able to plot against us any further. go announce his execution and give his title to macbeth.

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Duncan learns the Thane of Cawdor has betrayed him and been executed. He orders Ross to give Cawdor's title to the loyal Macbeth, as the traitor can no longer plot against the crown. The correct option matches this context, while others contain false details (e.g., Macbeth dying, Cawdor not lying, Macbeth being a traitor).

Answer:

The thane of Cawdor will not be able to plot against us any further. Go announce his execution and give his title to Macbeth.
