Read the excerpt from act 1, scene 3, of The Tragedy of Macbeth.

Macbeth. [To BANQUO.] Do you not hope your children shall be kings,
When those that gave the Thane of Cawdor to me
Promis’d no less to them?

Banquo. That, trusted home,
Might yet enkindle you unto the crown,
Besides the Thane of Cawdor. But ’tis strange:
And oftentimes, to win us to our harm,
The instruments of darkness tell us truths,
Win us with honest trifles, to betray’s
In deepest consequence.

Which statement best paraphrases the last four lines of Banquo’s reply to Macbeth?

Frequently, evil beings will say some truths only to lead us astray after we trust them.
The creatures who live in darkness betray others as often as they stand by them.
The darkness can reveal truths to those who are willing to hear honest criticisms.
Even those who are wicked can sometimes help us achieve good things.
