Answer:

Being the archetype of a tragic heroine, Antigone supports the theme that "divine law is higher than mortal law" as she sacrifices herself for what she believes in.

Explanation:

Antigone is a tragedy written by Sophocles in 442 BC, the plot begins with Antigone burying his dead brother Polyneices after he died in battle, and even after the king's successor Creon commands that Polyneices's body should be left on the field of battle. Antigone makes a decision knowing it will probably cost her own life, but she sacrifices herself because she believes her action was adhering to the law of God, which is, in her opinion, higher than the mortal law. This action makes Antigone a tragic heroine while supporting one of the main themes of the tragedy, which is the conflict between the divine law and the mortal law.

The definition of a good descriptive paragraph is a paragraph that appeals to the five senses: sight, sound, touch, smell, and hearing. It lets the reader into the author's world and allows them to experience the fun the author is having writing the article. Taking all the above into consideration, I think the best topic for a descriptive paragraph is A. Describing a yoga position. My assumption is also based on the fact that the author also enjoys yoga.

Use the following passage to answer the question.

Makovka662 [10]

The correct answer is Sentence 9.

The sentence should be written: Sadly, even after that water is found, only some of it's clean and safe enough to drink.

We know an apostrophe should be placed here because we could also say: Sadly, even after that water is found, only some of it is clean and safe enough to drink.
