Answer:

<em>Because Polybus is dead.</em>

Explanation:

Sophocles employs dramatic irony which intends to reflect the author's message to the audience and the characters don't see it. The given statement by Oedipus is ironic as it suggests the incompetence of the Oracles as Polybus is dead now and took them to Hades. He is critiquing the authenticity of oracles as it is of no use as he(Polybus) no longer exists and symbolizes his concern. This shows his anguish and mockery against the "prophetic oracles" as it could not help saving him from the mortality.

In which sentence does the adverb clause modify an adjective?
stealth61 [152]
The sentence in which the adverb clause modifies an adjective is the second one - The veteran appeared proud as he saluted the flag.
The adjective here is <em>proud</em>, and the adverbial clause is <em>as he saluted the flag. </em>As you can see here, that clause is describing the adjective in more detail. 
When did the veteran appear proud? - As he saluted the flag (it obviously modifies the word <em>proud</em>)

Read the excerpt below from the poem “Ulalume” by Edgar Allan Poe and answer the question that follows.
harina [27]

Alliteration is the repetition of a word of sound within the same phrase, such as "Ulalume"; Asonance is a vowel coincidence in the termination of two words, such as "it was night in the lonesome october

of my most immemorial year"; the consonance is an unmotivated use of words that are very close for each other, such as " we noted not the dim lake of Auber- (though once we had journeyed down here)"; and the poetic image describes something real through words, such as "these are days when my heart was volcanic", which explains his heart beats too strong.
