Which word in this excerpt from William Shakespeare's Hamlet means "resistant"? Anon he finds him, Striking too short at Greeks.

His antique sword, Rebellious to his arm, lies where it falls, Repugnant to command. Unequal match'd, Pyrrhus at Priam drives, in rage strikes wide, But with the whiff and wind of his fell sword The unnerved father falls. Then senseless Ilium, Seeming to feel this blow, with flaming top Stoops to his base, and with a hideous crash Takes prisoner Pyrrhus' ear; for lo his sword, Which was declining on the milky head Of reverent Priam, seem'd i' the air to stick. So as a painted tyrant Pyrrhus stood; And, like a neutral to his will and matter, Did nothing.

The word from this excerpt which means 'resistant' is repugnant.
One of the meanings of the word repugnant is <em>in conflict with, incompatible with, </em>which fits the description above. His sword is in conflict with him, meaning that it doesn't want to listen to him - it is resistant to his pleas for help, especially now when he needs it most.

Read the excerpt from the Iroquois Constitution. All Lords of the Five Nations Confederacy must be honest in all things. . . . I
Alona [7]

The correct answer is The Lords of the Five Nations Confederacy should act honorably and be revered.

Indeed, the first injunction is addressed to the Lords, and it clearly points them towards acting honorably as Lords of the Iroquois Confederation. The second injunction is addressed to their constituency, and it directs them to only submit important matters to these Lords and to respect them because of their positions. What this entails is that “trivial matters” are handled by another body, hinting at a possible separation of powers. It also establishes the principle of respect to the ethics and importance of the position held by the Lords.
