When Macbeth kills Duncan earlier in the play, Lady Macbeth has to go back and return the daggers to the dead guards so it looks like they were the ones who killed Duncan. When they hear the knocking at the gate she says "a little water clears us of this dead", referring to the blood on both of their hands. At this point in the play she is very casual about the murder and still led by her ambition. In 5.1, this idea of blood being on her hands has completely consumed her and even though it is not apparent her subconscious still sees it and it's impossible for her to get her hands clean enough.
Darkness is an image that is used often in the play as well. In 5.1, the reader learns that Lady Macbeth asks to have a candle with her at all times. This shows that she has become afraid of the darkness that earlier she so easily welcomed. Also, it is implied that even though her eyes are open she is asleep and cannot see--another type of darkness.
When Macbeth kills Duncan he says that he hears voices calling out that "Macbeth has murdered sleep"--sleep is nourishing and important, and by killing Duncan Macbeth thinks that he has ruined everyone's ability to sleep soundly (mostly his own). We see these images return in Lady Macbeth in 5.1 because she is sleep-walking. So, in a way, Macbeth was right--he 'murdered' her ability to sleep soundly because of the actions they both took.
The only way this scene redeems Lady Macbeth is that it shows she does have a conscience. For so much of the play she is so strong, ambitious, and ruthless--she has no issue with shaming Macbeth into killing Duncan to get what she wants. As Macbeth grows in his own ambition and blood-lust, we do not see as much of Lady Macbeth, but it helps here to know that she actually does feel bad about all of the murder and it's catching up with her subconscious and killing her.

Answer: The right answer is the second one: An allusion to conflict.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little bit more on the answer, it is relevant to mention that American poet Robert Hayden (1913-1980) was very concerned with the experiences and history of Black Americans, hence his reference to two major conflicts that directly affected that community: the Civil Rights Movement and the Vietnam War, represented by the cities of Selma and Saigon, respectively. From the city of Selma, in Alabama, departed, in 1965, a series of protest marches organized with the goal of claiming the constitutional right of African Americans to vote. Those who participated in them were violently attacked, arrested and even killed. At the same time, and paradoxically, many African Americans had been sent to Vietnam in order to fight in the war and freed the South Vietnamese people, even though their own rights were not protected in their own country. For that reason, one of the major American Civil Rights Movement organization, the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, became the first one in publicly showing opposition to the war, linking the two movements (anti-Vietnam war and Civil Rights Movement) inextricably.
It is for that reason that the speaker in Hayden’s poem resorts to Monet’s famous painting, which captures the serenity and the beauty of a little corner of his Japanese garden, in an attempt to escape, if only for a moment, from that violent reality.
Answer:
a time relationship between the events in sentences 3 and 4
Explanation:
Kevin's paragraph is written in chronological order. He uses transition words to show the time relationship between the events throughout the paragraph. However, there is not a signal word that indicates how long after the workshop the family attended the workshop that the woman came to their house. The other options are not correct because the entire paragraph demonstrates the family's interest in helping animals. The connection between the family and woman is clear when it says that she came to their house. The last option is simply incorrect as well since a personal narrative is written in first person point of view.
