Answer 1

In Act 1, Scene 3 of Shakespeare's "Macbeth," the witches give Macbeth three prophecies:

1. He will become the Thane of Cawdor.
2. He will become king of Scotland.
3. He is the Thane of Glamis (which he already is).

The correct answer to what the witches foretell for Macbeth is that **he will become king of Scotland**.
