Answer:

The word "base" refers to loyalty to the family, to the family bond that Ismenia has.

Explanation:

Antigone speaks the words shown above to her sister Ismenia. In these words, Antigone questions Ismenia's loyalty and commitment to the family, using the word "base" to refer to that family loyalty. That's because their brother was banned from receiving a decent funeral, which prevented his soul from being able to rest in peace. The king ordered that whoever made a feneral for the brother of Ismenia and Antigona would be condemned to death. However Antígona, in loyalty to her brother, is willing to take that risk and wants to know if Ismenia has the same loyalty.

</span><span>Unfazed by the morning frenzy before school is a prepositional phrase modifying gave. or dad. or something. but you don't need to know that and i'm stupid so let's move on.

Before we left is also a prepositional phrase. I'm still stupid so let's move on.

The subject is dad, verb is gave, and the direct object is lunches because it's what dad gave, it's the receiver of the action.
The indirect object is us because it's whom received th</span>e verb. Or something. I'm still stupid.

enyata [817]

Answer:

<em>Little inferior; whom my thoughts pursue</em>

<em>With wonder, and could love, so lively shines </em>

<em>In them Divine resemblance, and such grace </em>

<em>The hand that formd them on their shape hath pourd.</em>

Explanation:

These two sets of lines show how Satan acknowledges the goodness of God. In the first set, Satan tells us that his "thoughts pursue" God, and he also talks about love and shine. In the second set of lines, Satan talks about God's "divine resemblance," and he tells us that he made his creations with "grace." All of these positive words show that Satan feels some kind of respect towards God.

How does Pompey react to the news that Antony is returning to Rome for war
Komok [63]

Answer:

Still, even once Antony returns to the fight, Pompey faces his fate nobly. One of Pompey’s single most telling acts is his willingness to negotiate with the Roman triumvirs before he goes to war with them. In the negotiation, he would rather compromise than have blood shed, not because he is a coward, but because he is a reasonable man.
