Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 2 of The Tragedy of Macbeth. The sergeant is reporting to Duncan about the rebel attack.

Sergeant. As whence the sun ’gins his reflection
[Shipwrecking] storms and direful thunders break,
So from that spring whence comfort seem’d to come
Discomfort swells. Mark, King of Scotland, mark:
No sooner justice had with valour arm’d
Compell’d these skipping kerns to trust their heels,
But the Norweyan lord surveying vantage,
With furbish’d arms and new supplies of men
Began a fresh assault.

Duncan. Dismay’d not this
Our captains, Macbeth and Banquo?

Sergeant. Yes;
As sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion.

What mood does the simile "As sparrows eagles, or the hare the lion” help create?

astonished
confident
confused
hopeless

The Sergeant was depicted in the story as having come back from war and covered in blood. He narrates his ordeal to the King who listens with keen interest. He tells of how Macdonwalds head was cut off and put in their fort. He uses his hands to gesticulate and explain the sword fight as well as the blows meted on Macdonalds by Macbeth. The King was impressed by how valiantly his cousin Macbeth fought that he exclaimed on how his cousin was a brave and worthy man.

Thus, option "B" is correct.
