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.

Scan the following book titles. Which one would you expect to focus on the adventures of a guide dog or the blind ?
Dmitrij [34]

The answer is C: Moving through the darkness.

The fact the question is asking about the adventures of a guide dog or the blind entails that it probably is a form of narrative, fiction or otherwise, which means it must be written to appeal to a reader´s fancy. So the title you should be looking for in the answer is one that is enticing or captivating at first glance, in a narrative sense. Also, semantically, and considering the reason stated previously, answer C is the only one that is interpretatively connected to a guide dog or the blind narratively.
