Read the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes. " There were seven champions to attack the seven gates of Thebes, and seven ot

hers within as bold to defend them. Eteocles defended the gate which Polyneices attacked, and Antigone and Ismene within the palace waited to hear which had killed the other. But before any decisive combat had taken place, a youth in Thebes not yet grown to manhood had died for his country and in his death had shown himself the noblest of all. This was Creon's younger son, Menoeceus. How does the archetype presented in the excerpt support the universal theme of loyalty to one's country? Antigone and Ismene act cowardly by hiding inside the castle, but it proves their loyalty. The warrior Polyneices attacks Eteocles, which proves he is loyal to his country. Eteocles defends Thebes against his own brother, proving his loyalty. Creon kills his son, which shows that he demands loyalty.

Answer:

c) Eteocles defends Thebes against his own brother proving his loyalty.

Explanation:

Because of his decision to stand up for Thebes despite the fact that it meant going up against his own brother, Eteocles has shown his unwavering devotion to the city. It shows that he is a loyal person, regardless of his family's blood ties. Putting one's country before one's own family is one of the greatest acts of patriotism one can commit.

In which sentence is the word exiting a gerund? After visiting hours, people were exiting as quietly as possible. Check the smok
Elden [556K]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. It is in the sentence "We were stuck in the parking lot behind all the exiting cars." that the word exiting is a gerund. Gerunds<span> are words that are formed with verbs but act as nouns. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

Anton [14]
Atticus does not pretend to be better than anyone. He is not racist and does not put on airs. He raises his children with the same standards that he raises himself with. Other people in the town make up long lies that they blame on others, using race as a key part.
