My sister and I were looking for a snack. Way in the back of the refrigerator, I spotted two of our favorite yogurts. Perfect! W

hen I pulled them out, I noticed the wrapper edges were frayed. It looked like they may have been there a while, and one of the containers was smashed in. My sister didn’t care and was already running for a spoon. “Careful,” I said, “Where there is smoke there’s fire. These yogurts look kind of funny. And I can’t even read the expiration date.”
“You just want them for yourself,” she said, as she ripped off the wrapper. “Yikes!” she yelled, and we both held our noses.

A.If something looks wrong, then it probably is wrong.

B.Greediness is an unattractive quality.

How does Antigone take on the role or traits of a man? Why does she do this?
nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

Antigone takes on a masculine role in history when she decides to act according to her own thoughts, refusing her sister's advice and refusing to obey the king's order.

Explanation:

Traditionally, women in Greek stories have not been so independent and proactive. This is because women used to be submissive and respectful of rules, always obeying the advice that other women had to give and accepting the circumstances that were imposed on them. The most rebellious behaviors were directed at male characters who tend to act according to their own convictions.

However, Antigone decided to adopt this more rebellious behavior, in the name of the welfare of her brother's soul. For when he receives orders that his brother should not be buried and when receiving advice not to disobey the orders, Antígona decides to act according to what she believes and to bury her brother as she wants.

Select Noun Phrase if the underlined group of words is a noun phrase. Select Not a Noun Phrase if the underlined group of words
svlad2 [7]
"the price for an item is too high" - not a noun phrase. Actually, this is a clause, as it has a predicate of its own.
"a bottle of water while strolling" - not a noun phrase. "A bottle of water" would be a noun phrase (a phrase that has a noun as a headword), but "while strolling" is an adverbial phrase that describes the verb "buy".
"The same brand of bottled water" - noun phrase. The headword is "brand", and all the other words cling to it and provide additional explanation.
"a pair of athletic shoes" - noun phrase. The headword is "pair".
