Answer:

C. Generous.

Explanation:

The word 'altruistic' is an adjective that defines the quality of someone who is self-less and thinks more about others over one's own gain or advantage.

In the given passage, the correct word which defines the term 'altruistic' is generous. The word 'generous' correctly fits the sentence. And, the remaining part of the sentence also helps to know that the term is trying to define the 'generosity of the person. The words like <em>'always giving money or things to local charities' </em>also adds to the term.

Thus the correct word for 'altruistic' is <em>generous </em>(C).

How and why has ismene’s attitude changed since the beginning of the play?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Ismene's attitude changed at the end of the play. At first, she was opposed to the plan of Antigone in burying their brother. She warned her against doing such acts that will punish her. But in the end, she also saw that family ties matter more than the laws of the king.

She also believed that her sister is right in giving proper burial to their brother who had died the same death as that of their other brother, whether they had fought against each other or not. She believed that family blood runs deeper than any laws made by kings and that only God is above all, not the king.

Explanation:

<em>Antigone </em>by Sophocles tells the story of a young princess Antigone who dared go against the order of the king in burying her brother. And Ismene is the younger sister of Antigone who at first disapproves of her sister's actions but then began to realize her own mistake.

Antigone had gone against King Creon's order of prohibiting anyone to give a proper burial for Polyneices who he declared to be a traitor. But for Antigone, she would rather disobey the king than leave her own family, and in this case leaving her brother without a proper burial. When Ismene heard about her plans, she rebuked her and warned her against the punishment, even trying to stop her from doing such acts. She refused to help her sister and did not want to do unlawful acts.

But towards the end of the play, Ismene changed her stand on the issue. She stated that she also saw the importance of family ties and how it surpasses even the highest laws of the king. She now agrees with her sister's opinion that the king is not above the law of God, and God is to be feared more than the king.
