The thematic statement that is supported by Teiresia's character is that "<span>Familial loyalty supersedes civil obedience." The loyalty within the family is strong that even the civil obedience under it. Family is considered as the basic unit of the society.</span>
I believe this to be false as of the fact that a paradox would be like this "<span>If "this sentence is false" and you agree it is true then the statement would be false but that would make it true" and so on.

My best guess is B. The town shoemaker marries a beautiful young maiden despite the wishes of her rich family. During the 14th century, the theme of chivalric romance and love is emerging and growing in literature. It is unlikely that the other options would fit the historical context because there are no such things as trolls, young girls would never be able to survive on their own, and a sailor would not have the resources to travel to every country (particularly because not many were known during the time period).
<span>A.
Half the students were failing the course near the end of the school year.
The sentence is written in passive voice because the course is the subject of the sentence and was being failed is the main verb phrase. The course can't fail. The students are the ones who are failing so to change it you must make the students the subject of the sentence. A is the only option that makes the students the subject.
