Irony is when the opposite of the expected outcome occurs. The answer would be C. The desire to make people safe leads to a future in which everyone is confined to their beds.
The idea would be that everyone would be save to live how they please, but being confined to their beds does not allow them any opportunity for life.
Hope this helps!!
The opening scene in <em>Antigone</em> between Antigone and Ismene sparks the play's action (A.) by revealing Antigone's plan of burying her brother against the king's orders.
Sophocles' play<em> Antigone </em>starts with a dialogue between Antigone and her sister Ismene, where<u> Antigone tells her that she is determined to bury Polynices</u>, their brother, despite Creon's orders<u>. Ismene tells her sister that she will not help her to bury him and tries to convince Antigone to respect the law because</u> Creon had ordered to condemn to death to anyone that dared to bury Polynices since he had been a 'traitor'. Therefore, while Ismene is submissive to the king, <u>Antigone decides to break the law and pay obedience to a higher religious law instead</u>.

I wasn't able to find this question online to see if it is supposed to be a multiple-choice question or an open-ended one. Therefore, I will provide you with my own analysis and interpretation of the paragraph.
Answer and Explanation:
In this particular excerpt from Virginia Woolf's “In Search of a Room of One’s Own,” the author shows how dangerous it was for a woman to be intelligent and talented in the sixteenth century. Society feared and mocked gifted women. Mocked in the sense that they would try to convince her it was shameful, disgraceful to have her own thoughts expressed, to express her own feelings, to defy the status quo. Feared in the sense that society knew very well how powerful women could be once they began to express themselves, once they realized they too could write and produce ideas in a powerful manner. Women were "half witch, half wizard," inspiring respect and repulsion at the same time. That treatment by society would be enough to drive any woman - anyone, as a matter of fact - crazy.
