    How was Macduff born? 

    • Natural Birth

    • Magic

    • Cloning

    • Cesarean Section

    Correct Answer
    A. Cesarean Section
    Explanation
    Macduff was born through a Cesarean section. This means that instead of being born through the natural process of childbirth, Macduff was delivered through a surgical procedure in which an incision was made in the mother's abdomen and uterus. This method is often used when there are complications during pregnancy or labor, or when it is deemed safer for the mother or the baby.

    Correct Answer
    A. Macbeth was defeated by someone who was not born of a woman
    Explanation
    Macbeth was defeated by someone who was not born of a woman. This prophecy was fulfilled when Macduff revealed that he was "untimely ripped" from his mother's womb, meaning he was delivered via a Caesarean section and not born in the traditional sense. This fulfilled the witches' prophecy that Macbeth would be defeated by someone who was not born of a woman, ultimately leading to Macbeth's downfall.
