Read these lines from Macbeth:
The west yet glimmers with some streaks of day:
Now spurs the lated traveller apace,
To gain the timely inn; and near approaches
The subject of our watch.
Which of the following is true of the words lated traveller as used here? (5 points)
Lated is likely a Shakespearian version of belated.
Lated is meant to suggest the travelers are important.
Lated, like knighted, is something bestowed.
Lated suggests the travelers themselves are not at fault.
