Answer:

The correct answer is Antigone's decision to defy Creon's orders and bury her brother.

Explanation:

In plays, <em>rising action</em> is what comes after the <em>exposition </em>(introduction) and before <em>conflict </em>- therefore, it presents us with characters and events that will take place in the <em>conflict </em>part of the play. <em>Rising action</em> shows us what happened that led to the <em>conflict</em>.

In Antigone, the protagonist decided to disobey Creon by burying her brother, which later on leads to the conflict for Creon: he has to decide whether he wants to help his relative, Antigone, or whether to uphold the law that he as a ruler made.

Answer:

First you need to know what side your on or your claim. In this case the easiest side would be that <u>a vegetarian diet leads to weight loss. </u>

Explanation:

So in organizing your essay you first state your claim then you need at least 5 pieces of evidence for your whole essay to be efficient.

After you state your evidence you would then explain on how that evidence supports your claim.

So those are the basics for writing an argumentative essay. Good Luck!
