anastassius [24]

Answer:

According to the school, dress codes can limit acts of violence, allow students to concentrate on school activities, make it easier for students to get ready for school every day, limit the distractions that may arise in the classroom, help school administrators easily spot trespassers (in the situation where a school would have to go into lockdown)

The purpose of a dress code is to provide guidance to students and parents as to appropriate attire for school and at any school function. In addition, the dress code is a primary means of helping students learn a skill, which is required for success in getting and keeping employment linked to attire.

Prices at the mall were outrageous,______considerably higher than at other shopping centers.

Marrrta [24]

This question is missing the options. I have found the complete question online. We are supposed to fill in the blanks with the appropriate word or phrase:

Prices at the mall were outrageous,______, considerably higher than at other shopping centers.

A. or at least

B. in other words

C. not to say

Answer:

Prices at the mall were outrageous, A. or at least, considerably higher than at other shopping centers.

Explanation:

"Or at least" is used when we add similar information to what has already been said, but not identical. It is as if we are rethinking what we said and specifying it better, being careful to not exaggerate.

For example: "He hates ice cream, or at least I think he does, because he never has ice cream when he is with me." "Or at least" was used in the sentence to explain why I think he hates ice cream and to show that maybe the first piece of information was an exaggeration.

This is the best phrase to use in the sentence given in the question. The speaker first says the prices are outrageous, be then he thinks again and uses "or at least" to show that the prices are higher than in other malls. Perhaps they were not outrageous after all.

How do hamartia and hubris impact Oedipus’ path?

Vadim26 [7]

Hamartia of Oedipus is not overcome and the hubris he commits calls his downfall.

Explanation:

The Hamartia, or the fatal flaw is the one flaw of a good protagonist in a tragedy that brings them down and makes their downfall possible.

This characteristic of Hamartia with Oedipus is his will to control. He believes he can control his fate when he really has no way to do so and falls victim to his own machinations.

The Hubris of a character is when the overstep their limits and challenge the will of Gods. In a bid to change his fate Oedipus does just that and in that way he makes the fate only possible.
