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:
A) In the context of the story "The Landlady", people face death many times, without knowing they are initially.
Billy did think there was something odd about the way he was received and ushered in. Only that he kept excusing them away.
B) Billy, I think, should have realised her plans. There was nothing ordinary about an Inn that had had only two guests in two years and whose guests were still in the Inn.
Another pointer to just what she was capable of, was the fact that she was skilled in the ability to enbalm dead bodies.
C) Billy was probably under a spell and not in denial. From the moment he walked into the Inn. There were lots of clues to show that the Inn was unusual. First was the fact that with such a ridiculous price, he was the only guest that night and many nights before.
A guest in their right minds would have taken an objection to staying.

The
correct way to punctuate titles is as follow: for long titles like
books, use italics, and for short titles like short stories, use
quotation marks. Since in this case the sentence is talking a bout a
short story, the correct way to punctuate the sentence is: “A Long
Walk to Forever.”
<span>Remember
that commas and periods
that are part of the original sentence go inside the quotation marks,
therefore the last period in the sentence should be put inside the
quotation marks.</span>

Explanation:
I tried it on my edge test review and I got it right :D
The Poet uses litotes as a literary technique in the sentence That [sword] was not useless to the warrior now from Beowulf.
Litotes is a technique that communicates in a positive message through a negative structure, we can see in the sentence the use of was not, but the general meaning is a positive one saying that the sword was in fact really useful.
The other options are not correct because those techniques make reference to sounds and metrics or use of a combination of words no the general meaning of a sentence.
