Hi!

<h2>The answer would be D, comparison. </h2>

This a comparison because you have <u>two pairs of contrasting words</u>. First you have the words win and lose, and then you have the words celebrate and dejection.

When you win and celebrate, <em>you acknowledge a significant or happy day or event with a social gathering or enjoyable activit</em>y, and when you lose and are dejected, <em>you are in a sad and depressed state in low spirit</em>s.

<u>Because of the contrast in these two clauses, the sentence would be a comparison</u>.

Scene 2 / Ode 2
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

1. It is hubris or pride. Upon reaching adulthood and hearing the prophecy that he will murder his father and take his mother as his own wife, he attempts to flee the fate the gods have laid out before him by leaving Corinth. Unknowingly, he places himself upon the path that will lead to the prophecy coming true.

2. Both were attempting to prevent a terrible prophecy from coming true, Each prophecy involved the murder of a father by his son. Both Lauis' and Oedipus' behavior demonstrates that each believed he could use his free will to escape his fate .

3. Trying to stop a divinely ordained murder investigation and neglecting to undergo cleansing rituals are examples of acts of hubris respectively committed by Jocasta and Oedipus in "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles (495 B.C.E. - 405 B.C.E.).

Specifically, Theban Queen Jocasta tries to stop her second husband, King Oedipus, in his investigation of the murder of her first husband, King Laius. She does so because she realizes that something horrifying and humiliating is about to be revealed. But that is not her call to make since the Apolline oracle states that the pestilence in Thebes will end only with the identification and punishment of the guilty in Laius' murder.

Additionally, Oedipus neglects to follow proper purification procedures after killing five people. He is supposed to admit his crime and accept his punishment. Instead, he goes to Thebes, defeats the monstrous Sphinx and marries the older, recently widowed Theban queen. But he does absolutely nothing to carry out cleansing rituals regarding the recent, unsolved slaughter of King Laius and his escort party. These two lapses are arrogant breaches of the conduct code between gods and mortals.

4. failed to honor gods, losing faith, ignoring prophecies
