Citing specific textual evidence from Sophocles' Antigone, was Antigone wrong to break Creon's law when his law interfered with her religion and the well-being of her family member? Why or why not? What does this play tell us about societal values in Ancient Greece? file:///C:/Users/solma/Downloads/Sophocles,%20Antigone%20(1).pdf
This has to do with the conflict between the physical, or enforced law, by higher orders, to enforce justness, and personal/familial well being to preserve honor. As Antigone broke Creon's law, which was to leave Polyneices on the ground, she went against the law that was put in order to serve justice; as Polyneices had betrayed and fought against his own people, he was meant to be left without proper funeral rites; a punishment for his actions. Creon was acting on a scale of his entire state, as Polyneices had had a lot of wrong to the state. Antigone did not see a betrayer, she saw a family member, and wanted to protect his honor, and thus got in trouble for it. This shows the moral codes of Ancient Greece, and the honor code aswell. If someone chooses to betray their own people, and seperate themseleves from their people, they will not be treated the same as those who contributed to the socety. The societal values at the time were about the state as a whole, not about induvidual wantings.
What is most likely in the envelope?
an invitation to a special event
a message from a peasant
a note from a former schoolmate
a letter from an admirer
Answer:
an invitation to a special event
Explanation:
Out of all the options given, the one which is most likely in the envelope is an invitation to a special event.
A special event consists of public events, private events, sporting events, fairs & festivals among others. They are categorized as ‘special’ events most times because they are outside of the host’s normal business activities or programs.
That’s doesn't mean they don’t still have business objectives, while some special events are purely celebratory, many others are held for business purpose such as marketing, sales, advertising, promotion, e.t.c.
Special events are mostly hospitality or entertainment-based, though not all and are mostly of a social, rather than business, nature, with the exception to few others.
Answer:
A. an invitation to a special event

in the lady or the tiger in what is the kings justice similar to flipping a coin to decide an important question?
Answer:
Hi, the answer is:
Explanation:
In his narrative Frank R. Stockton challenges his reader to guess the outcome, but he also challenges his reader through the use of irony. Indeed, the presentation of the king in the exposition alerts the reader to this irony. This king is "semi-barbaric" and has an "exuberant fancy"; his authority is "so irresistible" that he turns his desires into facts. Often, he self-communes, and
when he and himself agreed upon anything, the thing was done...and...nothing please him so much as to make the crooked straight, and crush down uneven places.
And, yet, the author writes that, paradoxically, the king's subjects possess minds that are "refined and cultured." So, it is doubtful that the author truly feels that the king acts fairly. Rather, it seems that the king designs things according to his desires, feeling that what he does is always proper.
In describing what is done to a subject who is accused of a crime, the author presents many details about the doors and the tiger behind the doors that are placed arbitrarily so that no one knows.
The manner that the subjects must react is also described. Everything is arranged, no one can interfere with "his great scheme of punishment and reward."
This was the king's semi-barbaric method of administering justice. Its perfect fairness is obvious. The criminal could not know out of which door would come the lady.
This remark about "fairness" is simply that the person charged with a crime could not know which door was the one to choose. No one has any advantage, but this does not mean that the person charged with a crime is treated fairly and justly. It does not mean that the king per se is fair. For, there is no trial; the accused merely is placed in an area where he may be lucky enough to live.

9 You will notice from these examples that the lines between ad formats can get blurred; some endorsement ads tell stories, and some story ads also depend on associations. However you categorize them, it does appear that most advertisements fall into a pre-determined type. While that may seem repetitive, it is a model that works. Out of five thousand ads a day, one of those is certain to catch your attention. What does the word sequence mean in paragraph 7 of the passage? a. timing b. series c. variation d. range

What is the most likely meaning of the phrase "I could have hung my hat on my eyes, they stuck out so far" in this sentence? It is hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear. It is a simile that means that the author's hat was falling over his eyes. It is an oxymoron that means that the author could not see anything. It is personification that means that the author's eyes were too big for his face.
Answer:
It is a hyperbole that means that the author's eyes were wide with fear.
Explanation:
A hyperbole is an exaggeration to prove a point. For example: "I had a thousand pages of homework." You can't possibly have that much homework; it is exaggerated to show how much homework you have.
A simile is a comparison to another thing using the words "like" or "as." For example: "My pile of homework was as thick as a box."
An oxymoron is using two words together that contradict. For example: "My homework was finished at school." Normally people do homework at home, so it is contradictory(opposite) to do it at school. Another example is "the boiling hot ice." Usually ice is freezing cold, so it is contradictory for it to be hot.
Now that you know these figures of speech, we can answer the question. It's not a simile because it isn't comparing anything with the words "like" or "as." It's not an oxymoron because there is no contradictory statement. So, it is a hyperbole. It is exaggerating how far the person's eyes were sticking out.
Answer:
Its a hyperbole or option A

Which statement from Chapter 4 of The Scarlet Letter best explains Roger Chillingworth’s disinterest in seeking revenge on Hester?
“We have wronged each other.”
“Thou hast kept the secret of thy paramour.”
“What should ail me to harm this misbegotten and miserable babe?”
“The child is yours,—and she is none of mine,—neither will she recognize my voice or aspect as a father’s.”
Answer:
A). “We have wronged each other.”
Explanation:
The above statement most likely elaborates Chillingworth's disinterest to seek revenge upon Hester as it clearly reflects that he is aware of each other's mistakes and there's no point in detesting one another. Hester was wrong in running away and having an affair while Chillingworth was delinquent in his approach to destroy Hester's lover. Thus, he knows that they both were wrong which suggests a sense of fairness and justice. And now he doesn't want to instigate her sufferings anymore but rather tries to move on. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
Answer:
A

What does Prufrock long to ask? - From The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Answer:
Scholars and critics alike agree that the "overwhelming question" that is the focus of all of Prufrock's ponderings in the poem is most likely a marriage proposal, or a question of a woman's feelings for him. He obviously cares for a woman, is intimidated by her, has spent time with her, and wants to speak his heart to her. He either wants to propose and get an answer, or to reveal his love for her and have her reveal how she feels for him.

It does not require a comma. B.The clause is “to the nearest impound lot.” It is essential. It does not require a comma. C. The clause is “that are not registered.” It is non-essential. It does require a comma. D. The clause is “to the nearest impound lot.” It is non-essential. It does require a comma.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
Answer:
Relative clause is "that are not registered." It is essential to the meaning of the sentence and, therefore, does not require commas.
Explanation:
A clause that starts with a relative pronoun (who, that, which, whose, where, when) is called a relative clause. The purpose of these clauses is to provide more information about the noun that precedes them. In this case, relative clause "that are not registered" is used to describe the noun "cars." It is essential to the meaning of the sentence, since it tells us which cars in particular will be towed to the nearest impound lot. If a clause provides important information, it is considered essential and does not require commas.

There are, for example, the Spartans and the Romans. The Spartans held Athens and Thebes, establishing there an oligarchy: nevertheless they lost them. The Romans, in order to hold Capua, Carthage, and Numantia, dismantled them, and did not lose them. They wished to hold Greece as the Spartans held it, making it free and permitting its laws, and did not succeed. So to hold it they were compelled to dismantle many cities in the country, for in truth there is no safe way to retain them otherwise than by ruining them. And he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it, may expect to be destroyed by it, for in rebellion it has always the watchword of liberty and its ancient privileges as a rallying point, which neither time nor benefits will ever cause it to forget. And whatever you may do or provide against, they never forget that name or their privileges unless they are disunited or dispersed, but at every chance they immediately rally to them, as Pisa after the hundred years she had been held in bondage by the Florentines. Which statement best summarizes the central idea of the paragraph? The Spartans and the Romans are alike in how they retain possession of newly acquired states. The Spartans and the Romans are alike in their approach to ruling newly acquired states. Observing what happened to the Spartans and the Romans shows that it is best to destroy a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom. Observing what happened to the Spartans and the Romans shows that it is best to establish an oligarchy in a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom.
The correct answer is C. Observing what happened to the Spartans and the Romans shows that it is best to destroy a newly acquired state that is accustomed to freedom.
Explanation:
The text focuses on explaining the differences between the Spartans and the Romans when conquering new territories. The author explains the Romans destroyed and dismantled new territories, and were successful. On the opposite, the Spartans were not successful because they only established a government in new territories.
This implies, destroying new states is a better strategy than allowing freedom, this is reinforced by the idea "he who becomes master of a city accustomed to freedom and does not destroy it may expect to be destroyed by it" that shows the need to destroy or dismantle new states to control them. Thus, the main idea is that destruction is the best strategy to use with acquired states which is proven by comparing Spartans and Romans.

That time of year thou mayst in me behold When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang Upon those boughs which shake against the cold, Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang. William Shakespeare, "Sonnet 73" Which two things are being compared in this passage? A. someone in the later stages of life and tree that has lost its leaves B. the renewal of spring and the coming loss of autumn C. the beautiful music of a choir and the lovely song of the birds in the trees D. a useless old tree and a healthy tree that provides a home for forest animals
Answer: A. someone in the later stages of life and tree that has lost its leaves
Explanation: The speaker is getting near the end of life, no longer strong and flourishing, but feeling weak. This is like a tree in late fall when most of the leaves have fallen, and the branches shake in the cold wind.
A passage from William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 73" compares the later stages of life to a tree that has lost its leaves. The speaker compares their own aging process to a tree's transition from leaves to having none or few.
What does the yellow leaves symbolise at ?Yellow leaves symbolize the passing of time and the arrival of autumn. The branches shivering against the cold symbolize the fragility of life and the inevitability of death.
Bare, destroyed choirs symbolize the end of life, and the absence of the singing of sweet birds symbolizes the loss of joy and beauty. The comparison is between someone in the later stages of life and a tree that has lost its leaves.
Therefore, It is not a comparison of the renewal of spring and the coming loss of autumn, the beautiful music of the choir and the sweet song of the birds in the trees, or the useless old tree and the healthy tree that provides a home for the wild animals.

write an article for publication on the dangers on our roads
Answer:
India is a growing country. With the increasing population, the number of vehicles has expanded in the country during the last one decade. Though road networks also improved, mounting pressure on roads from expanded vehicle population has aggravated safety issues. Authentic data about road accidents is not available, still, preliminary data indicate that Indian roads are witnessing higher incidence of road accidents. It is a well known fact that Health of the Nation is more important than the wealth of the Nation”. Hence, Road safety is an important public health concern and attention must be given on Road safety measures. Strict adherence to road safety measures reduces road accident injuries and road accidents. Road related accidents are undoubtedly the most frequent and, overall, the cause of the most damage. The main reasons for this are the extremely dense road traffic and the relatively great freedom of movement given to drivers. In today's modern era road and transport has become a central part of every human being. Every body is a road user in one way or the other. The present transport system has reduced the distances but it has on the other hand increased the life risk of road accidents. Every year road accidents lead to loss of lakhs of lives and serious injuries to crores of people. In India itself about eighty thousand people are killed in road crashes every year which is 13% of the total fatality all over the world. The person behind the wheel plays an important role in most of the road accidents. In most cases, road accidents occur either due to carelessness or due to lack of road safety awareness of the road user. Therefore, road safety education is as essential as any other basic skills of survival. In this paper, we will briefly focus on the various aspects of road safety important for reducing road
