The right answer is ruthless, and this character trait is featured in Creon, the King of Thebes in this tragedy by Sophocles. Creon has become the new ruler, after the brothers and heirs to the throne, Eteocles and Polyneices, killed each other in battle. He orders to bury and honor the former, and to punish the latter by leaving his body unburied in the battlefield. Their sister, the merciful Antigone, wants to honor and bury his rebellious brother's body, even if that entails disobeying Creon's edict, and she proceeds to do so. She is discovered and Creon punishes her by burying her alive in a sepulchre. Creon eventually decides to bury Polyneices and to release Antigone, but when he arrives at the sepulchre he finds out that she has already taken her own life. While Antigone puts her family before her own life, Creon respects and obey the will of the gods whatever the cost.

Afina-wow [57]
In this play, the attorney is trying to find out what happened to Mr. Wright and how he died (apparently strangled, but suspected murdered). Mrs. Peters finds the bird, that was supposed to be in the bird cage, strangled. She interprets this as the preparation to the killing of Mr. Wright and hides the bird in a box. The fact that the ladies in the scene have agreed to not disclose the contents of the box and continue to hide it, let us know that the best answer here is option C.

Do you always do what is expected of you even when it conflicts with your personal beliefs? Give examples.
Kaylis [27]

I am expected to do what is right and be responsible of my decisions.  

Sometimes, in making a decision that conflicts with my beliefs, I have to think first about the situation. I ask myself, “why is this in conflict with my beliefs?” I need to act in a mature way and understand that every decision I make create consequences.

So, the best way for me to make decisions in these situations is this. Before making a decision I have to consider what the consequences are going to be. If my decision implies lying to mom and dad, I won’t make it. If it means that I need to hide in order to not to be revealed, I won’t make it.

That is th best way to do what is expected even if ir conflicts with my personal beliefs.

What price did Odysseus and his men pay for their attack on the Cicones?
muminat
D. Many of them were killed
Explanation : saw this on the web ⬇️

“There, Odysseus and his men attack and fight some of the native Cicones, snatching animals and wine, and sitting by the beach to eat and drink. But when Odysseus tells his men that it is time to leave, they refuse, as the food is too good and the wine too sweet.

Shortly, all the Cicones gather and attack them together, killing many while the others quickly boarded the ships and left in a wild storm. Evidently, the lack of prudence and sobriety had cost many good men their very lives…”

The main difference is that all non-fiction books have a table of contents, but not all fiction books do.
