Detailed explanation-1: -What is not something Macbeth mentions when trying to convince the murderers to kill Banquo? He says that he will make them thanes. How has Lady Macbeth changed in this act? She takes less initiative in planning with Macbeth.
Detailed explanation-2: -How Macbeth persuade the murderers to kill Banquo? He convinces them by talking about how good they would feel to get rid of the man who pushed them towards an early grave and put their families in poverty forever. He tells them that unless they are the worst, most scared type of man they should be able to kill him.

Detailed explanation-4: -Why does Macbeth kill Banquo? Macbeth kills Banquo because he sees Banquo as another threat to the throne.
