Ophocles intertwines the themes of death and marriage in Antigone. Which lines in this excerpt from the play best bring out the

correlation of death and marriage?
ANTIGONE:
Friends, countrymen, my last farewell I make;
My journey's done.
One last fond, lingering, longing look I take
At the bright sun.
For Death who puts to sleep both young and old
Hales my young life,
And beckons me to Acheron's dark fold,
An unwed wife.
No maids have strewn with flowers from the lea,
'Tis Death I wed.

Answer:

<em>No maids have strewn with flowers from the lea,</em>

<em>'Tis Death I wed.</em>

Explanation:

In the play <em>Antigone</em>, Ophocles presents several themes that were relevant to the daily life of Greek people. Two of the themes that he presents are those of death and marriage. We learn that Antigone claims she is going to death an "unwed wife." She also tells us that she is marrying Death (<em>'Tis Death I wed</em>).

In which sentence is the adverb clause
Naddik [55]

The correct answer is B. Until he truly heard classical music, he never knew that bittersweetness lived in wordless song.

Explanation:

The function of adverb clauses is to modify or describe the action in the sentence. In terms of structure, this usually begin with words such as when, after, until, etc that add information about time, reason, way, among others. Also, in terms of punctuation if the adverb clause is placed before the main sentence this is separated using a comma.

This correct punctuation is exemplified in "Until he truly heard classical music, he never knew that..." because the section "Until he truly heard classical music" is an adverb clause introduced by the word "until" and this has been separated from the main sentence "he never knew..." with a comma.
