How does Orson Welles conclude the radio broadcast war of the worlds?

He informs the listeners that the events did not really happen and provides a moral lesson.

What additional action has Macbeth taken in an unplayed scene?

This is a difficult question to answer, indeed impossible, since "additional" means in addition to something else, but you do not say what else. Also the phrase "an unplayed scene" doesn't mean anything. I suspect you might mean something that Macbeth does offstage (which means he does it somewhere where the audience cannot see it) but the fact that he does it is specifically mentioned in the script). Like murdering Duncan, which he does offstage. Or getting his head cut off, which he also does offstage.

What do we learn on the witches' appearance Macbeth?

The witches are the first thing we see on stage. What do they say? "When shall we three meet again? In thunder, lightning and in rain?" They are used to meeting in bad weather apparently. "When the hurly-burly's done. When the battle's lost and won." Aha! there's a battle going on. "That will be ere the set of sun." And the battle's going on RIGHT NOW. "Where the place?" "Upon the heath." OK, that's where they are going to meet after the battle later today. "There to meet with Macbeth." They are going to meet someone called Macbeth. We guessed there might be someone of this name in the play since that's the title. Then we find out that they have familiar spirits called Greymalkin and Paddock and they chant "Fair is foul and foul is fair. Hover through the fog and filthy air." Yes, we know that the weather is terrible. And that's Act I Scene 1

What does swelling act mean from the book Macbeth?

Macbeth says, "Two truths are told, As happy prologues to the swelling act Of the imperial theme." "Swelling" means growing, getting bigger, getting riper, getting readier. Think of a pregnant woman who swells as she gets nearer the time her baby will be delivered. Macbeth is talking about the witches' prophecy, and notes that "two truths are told"--he is both Thane of Glamis and of Cawdor. What was the third prophecy? That he would become king. The "two truths" are prologues, or statements which come before, his act of becoming king. And it is a "swelling act" because it is getting nearer and readier all the time. If you didn't get it, he tells you that it is an "imperial theme", "imperial" being a word meaning "belonging to an emperor".

Which is an best example of an daption?

Clearly there is something wrong with your question: there is no such word as "daption" and you wouldn't use "an" if there were. If you are trying to say "adaption", this is a word, but "adaptation" is the preferred form. If you are trying to say "adaptation", we need some context. If you are asking about Macbeth, which is a literary work, an adaptation would be taking the play and making it into a story (Lamb's Shakespeare Stories for Children) or a screenplay (e.g. Roman Polanski's 1971 film). However, "adaptation" is an important concept in Biology, especially in evolutionary theory. Darwin's Galapagos finches are as good an example as any.

Why does lady Macbeth emphasize her own determination to persuade Macbeth to kill the king?

We understand her better as a result. She prays to the "spirits that tend on mortal thoughts" to fill her "top full with direst cruelty", because she does not want any sympathetic portion of her nature (if there is any) to prevent her from persuading Macbeth to the murder. We understand how committed she is.

What was lady Macbeth's job?

She had no job. She was simply the wife of the main character in Shakespeare's play Macbeth.
