Macbeth starts to deny the witches prophecy, but once the first two come true in his eyes, he starts to believe the lie that they are spreading to him. :) He starts to believe luck is on his side and that makes him powerful.

"Macbeth" is a tragic play written by William Shakespeare that was first published in writing around 1623. Narrating the lifestory of Macbeth, a Scottish general who later becomes king of Scotland after murdering the true king in response to a prophecy made by three witches, and his wife, Lady Macbeth, this play portrays the inevitability of fate, the failure of humanity at understanding fate itself, and the consequences of unrestrained ambition. At the beginning of the play, one of the first things placed by Shakespeare in the first acts, is the appearance of three witches, who foretold not just Macbeth´s raise to power, but also the rise to power of the descendants of his then general friend, Banquo. The appearance of these witches, and the foretelling of the prophecies, underline the inescapable grasp of fate, the inevitability of it, as Macbeth acts on them, even if at first he does not believe in the first prophecy. It also underlines the incapacity of humans to really comprehend fate and act accordingly, and finally, it underlines the way that human vices may damage fate´s plans for people. It has to be remembered that the witches not just prophecy for Macbeth once, but twice, the second one coming after he had become king.

ivolga24 [154]

Answer: 2. "Thunder is good," said Mark Twain, "but it is lightning that does the work."

Explanation: the correct answer is the second option because first, it has a comma before and after "said Mark Twain", which is correct because when we use quotation marks and we want to add information (like who said it) between two phrases, we need to put it between two commas. The other that makes this option correct is that "but" doesn't begin with a capital letter, this is correct because it is a continuation of the first quote, it shouldn't begin in a capital letter.

Over [174]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question.

Read “Asian Men Can Jump,” by Gish Jen (2012, New York Times)

In 2012, Jeremy Lin led an unexpected winning streak by the New York Knicks, becoming the first Asian-American player to rise to prominence in the National Basketball Association. The writer Gish Jen published the following op-ed reflecting on the significance of Lin’s success.

Read the passage carefully, then complete the following tasks:  

Identify a claim made by Jen and explain the reasoning underlying this claim.

List at least two pieces of supporting evidence from the passage and briefly explain how they support the claim you have identified

Answer:

Jen claims that her brother, Bob, could be "the fittest 58-year-old on the planet." Of course, this is not a claim to be taken literally. It means that his health and physical state is incredibly good for his age.

Explanation:

The evidence she provides is that her brother´s doctor has estimated Bob´s biological age at 35. She further supports her claim saying that "he´s still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas," which is a monumental physical effort.
