10Q1. Where are the witches at the time of speaking these lines?12br

10Ans. My book states "a desert place". But I just couldn't write this much. What can I do to expand my answer to make it worthy of 3 marks?12br
12br
10Q2. "That will be ere the set of sun", what does "that" refer to here?12br
12br
10Ans. I know that refers to a battle, probably in which Macbeth also participates. But my knowledge is limited only to the first scene.12br

10Q3. Why r the witches planning to meet Macbeth?12br
12br
10Ans. Really, I have no idea.12br
12br
10Q4. Explain the last two lines.12br

10I have never read Shakespeare before so I have no idea what to write. I simply dont understand what is written in the text. We have been taught only the first scene. I shall be really grateful if you can help me with 11b10any12b10 of these questions. I am a science student so its a really tough job for me. I would be glad if you could provide me with e-books sort of things or notes on this play (especially the exposition scene) written in 11b10 simple modern english12b10.12br
