Question 10 • English 2 Sem 2 (10013400) BCPS 2025-26

Read the excerpt from act 3, scene 5 of The Tragedy of Macbeth.[Hecate.] [To the Witches.] And I, the mistress of your charms,The close contriver of all harms,Was never call’d to bear my part,Or show the glory of our art?

Answer
A
anxious
B
bewildered
C
embarrassed
D
admonishing

Explanation

Hecate asks why she was not called to take part in the witches’ plan, even though she is the “mistress” of their charms and a planner of harm. Her rhetorical questions criticize the witches for leaving her out, so her tone is admonishing. “Bewildered” or “anxious” would suggest confusion or worry, which is not the main feeling here.
