The correct answer is <span>D. The president of Egypt blocked Israeli ships from accessing the Suez Canal.
The president of Egypt announced that the Canal would no longer be neutral ground, open for all, and that it would slowly become nationalized and used to the benefit of Egypt. As they disliked Israel they banned Israeli ships from passing through the canal which was a huge strike to their economy since trading revolved around the canal.</span>
The correct answer is Oedipus makes decisions based on the will of the gods.
Indeed, at this point in the plot, the Kingdom of Thebes has fallen to some kind of plague that pollutes the people and the fields, causing starvation. He has a prophet consult the Oracle of Apollo to see what can be done and the prophet comes back with an injunction, not a prophecy to find Laius’ killer.
Of course, Oedipus states that “finding Lauis’ murderer is self-serving” but in the sense that he is one with his people and that his people’s welfare is his own. The only unambiguous choice is that Oedipus makes decisions not based on scientific or criminal research but on his religious beliefs and these command that the will of the gods be obeyed at all times.
