Part B: The quote which best supports the answer to Part A is:

Explanation:
I found this question online; it refers to the poem "Bag of Bones" by Dunya Mikhail.
<u>The poem's theme concerns the death of many as well as the death of one. </u>One death will bring an impact with it - in the poem, it is the mother who lost her son. When a mass grave was dug up, she was able to find his remains, which brought back the memories of when he was alive as well as the feeling of loss and injustice - his death was the result of a dictatorship.
However, many more mothers are still there, at the grave, looking for their children. That one mother's tragedy is the same tragedy of many others. <u>What the dictator has done is ruin several individual lives which, when put together, results in a collective tragedy for millions.</u>

<span>Keeping this definition in mind, most of the lines in the prologue alude to the fact that the play will be a tragedy. It talks about how civil blood will make civil hands unclean, how two star-crossed lovers will take their own lives, and how their deaths will end a long-term dispute between two respectable families.</span>
