Explanation:
Oedipus begs him to reveal who Laius’s murderer is, but Tiresias answers only that he knows the truth but wishes he did not. Puzzled at first, then angry, Oedipus insists that Tiresias tell Thebes what he knows. Provoked by the anger and insults of Oedipus, Tiresias begins to hint at his knowledge. Finally, when Oedipus furiously accuses Tiresias of the murder, Tiresias tells Oedipus that Oedipus himself is the curse. Oedipus dares Tiresias to say it again, and so Tiresias calls Oedipus the murderer. The king criticizes Tiresias’s powers wildly and insults his blindness, but Tiresias only responds that the insults will eventually be turned on Oedipus by all of Thebes. Driven into a fury by the accusation, Oedipus proceeds to concoct a story that Creon and Tiresias are conspiring to overthrow him.

Answer and Explanation:
The effects of education go way beyond basic literacy, creating a positive domino effect.
<u>For example, educated people are usually more tolerant when it comes to cultural differences, to foreigners and immigrants. A consequence of that is a society capable of accepting people from all over the world, where discrimination and racial crimes are not acceptable.</u>
<u>Another example is that educated people understand the importance of equality. Educated societies tend to have a smaller gap when it comes to the treatment, employment and payment of people of different genders and races, for instance. As a consequence, people get better jobs, better salaries, and quality of life improves.</u>
All in all, education provides us with the tools to learn from the past, to understand the present and to create a better future.

Resilience = "They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong"

Answer:
A "The spring of 1998 was the Halley’s Comet of desert wildflower years." (lines 1–2)
Explanation:
This is the excerpt from Barbara Kingsolver's scientific essey "Called Out". It describes events in the spring of 1998 and gives insight on magnificent and complex life cycle of desert plants.
The given sentence provides description of the highway medians suggesting that there were unusually many flowers, rarely seen before.
That provides evidence to answer A. which claims that that spring was the Halley's Comet of desert wildflower years. Halley's Comet is a rare phenomenon that happens only once every 76 years, so by making this comparison, the author claims that what happened that spring was a true botanical rarity.
