Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 2, of The Tragedy
of Macbeth
Duncan. Great happiness!
Ross. That now
Sweno, the Norways' king, craves composition;
Nor would we deign him burial of his men
Till he disbursed, at Saint Colme's Inch,
Ten thousand dollars to our general use.

Which statement best paraphrases the last three lines
of Ross's comment to Duncan?

O We went to Saint Colme's Inch to give Sweno ten
thousand dollars because so many of the Norwegian
soldiers died.

O We would not let Sweno bury his men unless he
brought ten thousand dollars to us at Saint Colme's
Inch.

O We would not let Sweno or his men leave until the
king gave ten thousand dollars to Saint Colme's
Inch.

O We went to meet the Norwegians at Saint Colme's
Inch because Sweno gave us ten thousand dollars to
bury dead soldiers.
