The obvious answer would be C. rhyme.
As you can see, each of these lines rhyme: sea rhymes with C, and me, and be. Those words sound similar, which means they rhyme. There are no metaphors (comparisons) and onomatopoeias (mimicking the sounds from nature) here, or alliterations (repetition of the same consonant) in this excerpt.

Igoryamba

Answer:

the answer is passage 2 Haemon tries to convince his father to think about his citizens and what they want and to realize his arrogance and folly. However, Creon

entombed. The prophet Teiresias warns Creon of his folly, only to be rebuked. Later, when Creon goes to free Antigone, he finds out that she

Creon returns to the palace childless and wifeless, finally realizes his hubris, and repents.
