Answer:
A.
Explanation:
"The Death of a Soldier" is a poem written by Wallace Stevens. The poem metamorphically describes the death of a soldier to spring. Just like in every spring, leaves are expected to fall, the death of soldiers is expected in the wars. The theme that the death of a soldier is seen as unavoidable and a common happening is illustrated in the poem.
The line or verse that supports this theme is Line 1, <em>"Life contracts and death is expected." </em>The very first line of the poem illustrates the theme that <em>death is expected </em>in the war.
Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
Answer:
Oedipus ran to Thebes to prevent the oracle from happening.
Explanation:
When Oedipus was called a child with no father by some person, he became determined to learn about his origin. This led to his sojourn to the oracle of Apollo. At the oracle, Oedipus was told that he would kill his father and sleep with his mother.
To prevent the prophecy from coming true, Oedipus went to Thebes and on his way he killed a man named Laius who unbeknownst to him was his father. He married his mother, Jocasta, the queen and widow of Thebes who bore him four children. In that way, he fulfilled the prophecy.
