Answer 1

Answer:

A. Macduff has gone to England to join Malcolm’s forces to overthrow Macbeth.

• In Macbeth, Macduff flees Scotland to England to join Malcolm, the son of King Duncan, to regain the throne of Scotland.

• Macduff is one of the first to suspect that Macbeth murdered King Duncan. He knows that the only way to remove Macbeth from power is to bring back Duncan's heir.
