1. Answer:

Antigone simply states Creon's order of not giving a proper funeral to Polynices.

1. Explanation:

This question is regarding a famous play written by Sophocles. He wrote this play in 441 BCE. These plays were 120 in total but out of which only seven survived till today.

Antigone's is the daughter of Oedipus and Jocasta. She had a very lonely childhood. The other main characters of the play are Creon, Ismene, Haemon, Eurydice of Thebes, Sentry, Polynices and Tiresias. Creon is the brother of her mother Jocasta.

2. Answer:

This ruling badly affects their family.

2. Explanation:

Since Polynices is her brother and she loves him very much. They already had a very troublesome childhood. Their mother died while their father was banished from the country hence Antigone cherished her siblings very much.

She wanted to give her brother a proper burial while Ismene solely wanted to obey the orders of the King. She did not want to make him angry. This was very hurtful for Antigone. Later in the play, Antigone kills herself too.

We need to urge our city planners to say goodbye to the urban sprawl that has engulfed our nation like a tidal wave in the last

Aloiza [94]

The author's strongest support for their statement is the reference to a major claim (Option B). In it, the author alludes to the strongest and clearest declaration that agrees with their statement by quoting the authors of Suburban Nation. This is not an allusion because of the direct nature of this reference (allusion = indirect reference). There is no repetition observed in this paragraph, and the author doesn't comment on what the opposing party believes. Therefore, by logic and by elimination, we can conclude that this is an example of a reference to a major claim.

Which topic is too broad for a 10-minute speech?A. how to punt a football B. the history of California C. visiting the Louvre in

Nina [5.8K]

B. the history of California

For a speech, 10 minutes is really just enough time to pretty much cover the basics. When we consider that the average time it takes to read/speak is approximately 250 words a minute, and with the understanding that one typed page is 250 words, this means that 10 minutes would cover only four pages of text. With that in mind, the topic of “The History of California,” it can be safely assumed that only a superficial covering of the history would be covered because there is so much that could be covered, especially keeping in mind that California’s history could include everything from prehistoric times (or earlier) to the present day. When deciding on a topic, one should always keep the required length in mind and decide whether the topic is suitable for the page/time length because for broad topics many pages and lots of time would be required in order to adequately cover everything of which it is comprised. For low page/time requirements, a narrow topic is what would be needed.
