The correct answer is the second option - <span>to occur unexpectedly and have destructive or harmful effects.
</span>Here, the word struck is just a past form of the verb to strike, meaning to happen unexpectedly and have dire consequences, like an earthquake can hit California, in this case. The final definition is a noun, and does not fit in the context of the original sentence.

The authors tone in "About Russel" changes from hopeful, to unpromising. In Passage A the author is seen stating, "...Russel's future was bright and without limitation..." This gives a feeling of optimism, and shows that Russel was headed on a good path. This feeling changes in Passage B, as it says, "Further and further Russel slipped away, unable to make eye contact or hold a conversation." This sentence is very discouraging, as it seems all progress made was simply forgotten. Putting these two sentences together, it shows the change in tone dramatically, further proving the point of this change in tone. In conclusion, the tone of each passage is different, as it goes from expectant to hopeless.

Which of the following lines from Antigone shows a result of Creon’s change in fortune, or his peripeteia?
AysviL [449]
I believe that the lines from Antigone that show a result of Creon's change in fortune, or his peripeteia are:
<em>Thy wife, the mother of thy dead son here,
</em><em>Lies stricken by a fresh inflicted blow.
</em>It shows that both his son and his wife are dead because of his bad decisions.
