The murderer appears at the banquet to report to Macbeth. He says that Banquo is dead but not his son Fleance. Macbeth says in an aside, “the worm that’s fled / Hath nature that in time will venom breed, / No teeth for th’ present.” What does Macbeth mean?

• Fleance is a weak person whom he does not fear.
• Fleance is not a danger to him now, but he will become one later.
• Fleance is an evil person but no one to fear.
• Fleance is a coward for not staying to defend his father.

Why aren't the murder plans (Banquo's) completely successful?

• Banquo tells the other noblemen of Macbeth's deeds before he dies. 
• Fleance (Banquo's son) escapes. 

Which of the following is the explanation for the quote: “Thou has it now: king, Cawdor, Glamis, all,/As the weird women promised, and I fear/Thou pla’dst more foully for’t.” –Banquo (II.i.1-3)

• Macbeth’s three prophecies have come true, but I’m afraid he used dishonest conduct to get it.
• Sometimes prophecies can come true, so evil can be viewed in a positive way.
• The weird women cannot predict what choices Macbeth will make to get what he wants.
• Macbeth has everything he has ever wanted, but Lady Macbeth is becoming jealous.
