Explanation:

Sophocles' tragedy play "Antigone" revolves around the story of Antigone and her punishment for disobeying King Creon's edict. The play deals with themes of family love, loyalty, belief, and courage.

King Creon had issued a decree stating that anyone who dares to give a proper burial to "traitor" Polyneices must be put to death. And Antigone did just that, for she believes in obeying the laws of the gods rather than a mortal king. It was this act of betrayal that led to her arrest, which she calmly accepts but also boldly questions her uncle, the king's ways.

This bold reaction is best supported by her retort "Then why do you delay?", asking to be put to death immediately as per the order.

Thus, the correct answer is option B for the first question and option A for the second question.

explanation:

the intellectual community is a place like a university where people with high marks, or original thought or an outstanding interest in something gather. they take classes together. they discuss things. they argue sometimes, and not always in a friendly way. but if they argue, it is because they are passionate about something, and there is nothing the matter with that.

lately i've been hearing rumors that it is not the way it was when i went to school. the one thing all schools used to have was free speech. the 1st amendment rights were sacred. now i'm hearing they are not. students can be reported and disciplined for giving an off the wall opinion.

that is shameful.

intellectual ideas are meant to be discussed. they are meant to be chewed up and worked on. that is the primary responsibility of every intellectual community. if that is not the way it is, then that is not a school to go to.

social media, in my opinion, and this is just an opinion. i wouldn't take it too seriously, complicates everything to do with human communication. you can want to share things and others feel they have the right to be very critical or sarcastic or mean about what you share. lack of respect is an immeasurable intolerable condition and social media abounds with that sort of thing.

one of the things i really like about is how careful people are because they must have some idea that the mods are exactly what the word says they are. they police this board very well, and what is so remarkable about them is that they are no older than the average grade 12 student.

my hat goes off to them (which means i respect them quite a bit).

perhaps, jefferson is the best spokesman that speak about american ideals of equality and liberty.

no one should be immune to the law because if there is an existence of someone that is above the law, a true equality would never be achieved

hope this
