Detailed explanation-1: -What prediction from the witches is false? Banquo’s sons would be king.
Detailed explanation-2: -This prophecy later comes true when Macbeth murders Banquo, having taken the throne for himself. The witches tell Macbeth that he will become king, that no man born of woman can defeat him, and that he will not be vanquished until Birnam Wood should come to Dunsinane, all of which turns out to be true.
Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: Macduff killed Macbeth for two reasons. First, because Macbeth had become a tyrant who would gladly kill anyone who stood in his way. Second, and more importantly, he killed Macbeth because Macbeth arranged the murder of his family.
Detailed explanation-4: -They predict Macbeth will be Thane of Cawdor and eventually the king. They predict that Banquo will be “lesser than Macbeth, and greater, Not so happy, and yet happier” and that his descendants will be kings although he will not be one.
Detailed explanation-5: -In response they summon for him three apparitions: an armed head, a bloody child, and finally a child crowned, with a tree in his hand. These apparitions instruct Macbeth to beware Macduff but reassure him that no man born of woman can harm him and that he will not be overthrown until Birnam Wood moves to Dunsinane.
