Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

Antigone is a play written by Sophocles, who is one of the three ancient Greek  tragedians. Even though it is the last of three Theban plays, it is said that Sophocles had written it before he wrote the first two. Creon is the new Tebas ruler, after Eteocles and Polynices death.

In the excerpt, we can see how Creon emphasizes the importance of human civil law when he says "Before my presence here the very man/ who carried out this lawless burial,/ Death for your punishment shall not be suffice/ Hanged on a cross, alive yet first shall make/ Confession of this outrage. This will teach you/ What practices are like to serve your turn." By these words, it is understood that the worst punishment is valid against those who had the courage to break the law, which is almost sacred.

Insert appropriate form of the verb at this very moment , the international space station _____ ( orbit ) Earth at distance of 2
Minchanka [31]

Answer:

At this very moment, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a distance of 240 miles.

Explanation:

We use the simple present tense when we talk about actions that happen often, habitual actions, or truths that usually do not change or that take some time to change. For example: I sleep at 10 in the evening. / Dogs bark and birds fly. / Dora lives in Spain.

Therefore, since the orbit of the International Space Station is a truth that will most likely take long to change, it seems best to use the simple present to complete the sentence. Since the subject is third-person singular, we must add -s to the verb:

- At this very moment, the International Space Station orbits Earth at a distance of 240 miles.

Note: Another possibility would be the use of the present continuous: "is orbiting". However, that makes it seem this is just a temporary action that will, at any moment, change.

Does doing something unethical makes a person bad? Does doing something ethical makes a person good? Please explain your respons
Sophie [7]

Answer:

No, doing something unethical doesn't necessarily mean someone's just outright a bad person. Everyone makes mistakes, then we learn from them and know how to better ourselves in the future. Doing something ethical doesn't always necessarily mean someone's a good person either. Someone can act like a complete saint to someone, and then go off later and do something unethical to something or someone else.
