Answer:
Ismene's attitude changed at the end of the play. At first, she was opposed to the plan of Antigone in burying their brother. She warned her against doing such acts that will punish her. But in the end, she also saw that family ties matter more than the laws of the king.
She also believed that her sister is right in giving proper burial to their brother who had died the same death as that of their other brother, whether they had fought against each other or not. She believed that family blood runs deeper than any laws made by kings and that only God is above all, not the king.
Explanation:
<em>Antigone </em>by Sophocles tells the story of a young princess Antigone who dared go against the order of the king in burying her brother. And Ismene is the younger sister of Antigone who at first disapproves of her sister's actions but then began to realize her own mistake.
Antigone had gone against King Creon's order of prohibiting anyone to give a proper burial for Polyneices who he declared to be a traitor. But for Antigone, she would rather disobey the king than leave her own family, and in this case leaving her brother without a proper burial. When Ismene heard about her plans, she rebuked her and warned her against the punishment, even trying to stop her from doing such acts. She refused to help her sister and did not want to do unlawful acts.
But towards the end of the play, Ismene changed her stand on the issue. She stated that she also saw the importance of family ties and how it surpasses even the highest laws of the king. She now agrees with her sister's opinion that the king is not above the law of God, and God is to be feared more than the king.
Answer:
I looked upon the scene before me—upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain—upon the bleak walls—upon the vacant eye-like windows—upon a few rank sedges—and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees—with an utter depression of soul which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon opium—the bitter lapse into everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the veil. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart—an unredeemed dreariness of thought which no goading of the imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it—I paused to think—what was it that so unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? It was a mystery all insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that crowded upon me as I pondered. I was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among considerations beyond our depth. It was possible, I reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful impression; and, acting upon this idea, I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down—but with a shudder even more thrilling than before—upon the remodelled and inverted images of the gray sedge, and the ghastly tree-stems, and the vacant and eye-like windows.
The correct answer is the last option: If you take away the suffix –n and the prefix un-, the root word is “know”.
Prefixes and suffixes are sets of letters that are added at the beginning (prefix) or end of a word (suffix). They are not words by themselves, but they do change the words' meanings or categories.
In this case, the root is know. The suffix -n is used to change the word's category from verb (know) to noun (known). While, the prefix un- is used to mean NOT. As a result the meaning of the word UNKOWN would be not known or familiar.

Answer:
C: Confessions.
Explanation:
Synonyms are words that have the same meaning despite the difference in their words or spellings. Synonyms are, in a way, the different ways by which things are expressed through the use of different words but still contain or express the same meaning.
In the given sentence, the term "revelations" is used to refer to the things said in the Watergate tapes. This word "revelation" is synonymous with disclosures, thereby making them all synonymous with the word "confession".
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
