I believe the answer is: “It is better that a few should perish than that the whole city should be destroyed,”
Pay attention to this line:
"<em>what have we done that you should wish thus to destroy us from the earth?"</em>
At this point, we can infer that the King hasn't fully made up his mind on whether he should destroy them or not.
When the elders reply with this line:
<em>“It is better that a few should perish than that the whole city should be destroyed,” </em>
The elders basically advance the plot by convincing the king that the act of destroying some of His people is correct.
It's where when oedipus learns, quite contrary to his expectations, that he is the man who killed his father and slept with his mother.

Answer:
The first sentence if modified can make the paragraph into a stronger argumentative speech.
Explanation:
Current opening sentence: Genetically modified foods unequally benefit rich countries, including the United States.
Revised opening sentence: Rich countries including the United States currently enjoy more benefits from the production and sale of Genetically Modified Foods than developing nations.
So the complete paragraph looks like this:
<em>Rich countries including the United States currently enjoy more benefits from the production and sale of Genetically Modified Foods than developing nations. The USDA reports that the US gained the vast majority of the total world benefit from new herbicide-tolerant soybeans in 1997. In addition, the US company that created the soybeans charged farmers a technology fee. These high adoption costs will continue to limit the benefits of genetically modified crops to rich countries that do not need the higher yields, rather than extending them to poorer nations that do.</em>

In revising the first paragraph, we are able to go in with a stronger argument or hook which is critical to an argumentative essay.

Answer:
The writer of the text - A Brief History of Football – and “Soccer” uses informal english lanuage to communicate to the readers. His tone is rather colloquial and conversational.
This style supports the point he is trying to make because the evolution of and adoption of the word "soccer" for instance seem to have happened informally and became adapted from the more formal phrase "Association Football".
