<span>What the Chorus Leader assumes to be the reason for Antigone's decision to go against her king is that she is Oedipus' daughter and she can't help herself because of bitterness. She decided to disobey Creon's orders and wanted to give her brother a proper burial even though he is a traitor to the state. The king didn't want him to be buried, but rather to be left to the dogs to eat him, however, Antigone never wanted to let that happen.</span>
I believe the third stanza is the correct answer:
<span>Seven captains at our seven gates
Thundered; for each a champion waits,
Each left behind his armor bright,
Trophy for Zeus who turns the fight;
Save two alone, that ill-starred pair
One mother to one father bare,
Who lance in rest, one 'gainst the other
Drave, and both perished, brother slain by brother.
These lines tell the story of what happened immediately prior to the play Antigone. It describes the events of when her two brothers fought and kill each other in battle, which is the reason why the play Antigone exists. The first two stanzas describe events from a long time ago, and the fourth one are current events. The third one gives a background to the story, which is why I'd pick that option.

Answer:
1. Hermia → Lysander
2. Helena → Demetrius
3. Titania → Oberon
Explanation:
The above is correct. I have been able to match each woman with her mate at the end of the play.
Lysander was mistaken to be Demetrius and was placed under Puck's spell which led him to fall in love with Helena. But eventually, the spell over Lysander was reversed and Lysander finally marries Hermia at the end.
Also, Demetrius and Helena ended up marrying each other. Demetrius later said that he wasn't in love with Hermia but with Helena.
Titania is the wife of Oberon.
"A Midsummer Night's Dream" is a play written by William Shakespeare.
