In Sophocles's Greek tragedy Oedipus the King, Oedipus discovers that he has unknowingly killed his biological father and married his birth mother. The horror of this truth causes Jocasta, Oedipus’s wife/mother, to hang herself and Oedipus to stab himself in the eyes. What element of Greek tragedy do these final two acts give expression to?
A. catastrophe
B. hamartia
(C was removed for being wrong)
D. catharsis
E. hubris

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A. Catastrophe

Explanation:

In literature, the term catastrophe refers to the final resolution that brings the story to its end. When it comes to tragedies, the catastrophe often involves the downfall and death of the main character. In the case of Oedipus the King, the catastrophe is based on Oedipus' discovery that he married his own mother, which leads to her death and his self-mutilation.

Hamartia is the flaw that leads to the downfall of the tragedy's protagonist.

Catharsis is the purification and purgation of emotions that follows the observation of a tragedy.

Hubris is a characteristic of excessive confidence or arrogance. In Greek tragedies, this arrogance offends the gods and leads to a character's downfall.

In "The Adventures of Theseus," Theseus has a choice: He can take the easier and safer route to Athens by sea, or he can take the more dangerous land route. Theseus decides to travel to Athens by land. How does Theseus's decision help develop the plot?

Answers

Hello. You forgot the answer options. The options are:

It illustrates the theme.

It builds suspense.

It describes the climax.

It resolves the conflict.

Answer:

It builds suspense.

Explanation:

When Theseus chooses the most dangerous route to reach Athens, the story takes on a strong suspense tone. This is because the reader understands that Theseus will encounter these problems, which will be very difficult to solve and which can even end it. However, the reader does not know when these problems will appear, nor even what these problems are, which makes suspense a crucial element for the continuation of reading, allowing the reader to be anxious and apprehensive about what will happen in the narrative.

Answer:

It builds suspense

Explanation:

I say this because authors try to make stories interesting, exciting, crazy. This is also the answer because he eventually ends up at procrusties house. Its trying to build suspense for this.

Therefore your answer is it builds suspense

Item 5 Based on context clues, what does the word host mean in this sentence? One minute the entire land was quiet; the next, we heard a thundering host stomping through the hills, kicking up a tidal wave of dust and raising an incredible racket. an owner a provider an army a recipient

Answers

Answer:

an army

Explanation:

The text above states that the "host" made a horrible noise and had a strong step that raised a lot of dust. This gives us the impression that the "host" is not a single person, but a large number of people, a crowd, which can indicate that this word refers to an army. Which makes perfect sense, since the word "host" used to be used to refer to an army.

Answer:

An Army.

Answers

The detail from the selection that effectively helps to develop the key idea that the Wars of the Roses were due to the conflicting claims to the English throne is However, the English kingdom devolved into chaos under Henry VI and the king's council, a group of aristocrats in charge of the kingdom's management" (lines 9-11).

The central idea is the main element in the story that unifies the story. In this case, it's the main idea in the story that the author wants the readers to know.

Since the key idea, in this case is about conflict, the lines that illustrate this is when the English kingdom devolved into chaos under Henry VI .

Which of these sentences is written in the past tense? Micah is wishing for a puppy for his birthday. Micah wishes he would get a puppy for his birthday. Micah wished for a puppy for his birthday. Micah will wish for a puppy for his birthday.

Answers

Answer:

The sentence that is written in the past tense is:

C. Micah wished for a puppy for his birthday.

Explanation:

Let's take a look at each sentence and find the correct one through elimination:

A. Micah is wishing for a puppy for his birthday. - This option is in the present continuous tense, which is formed by the present form of to be and the main verb ending in -ing.

B. Micah wishes he would get a puppy for his birthday. - This option is in the simple present. The -es ending the verb shows it is conjugated for the third person he/she/it.

C. Micah wished for a puppy for his birthday. - This is the correct option. The -ed ending the verb is sign that it is in its past form, and that it is a regular verb. Regular verbs in the past can end in -d, -ed, or -ied, depending on how the verb stem ends.

D. Micah will wish for a puppy for his birthday. - This option is in the simple future, recognizable by the use of the auxiliary "will".

. After reading the story once, re-read it, this time examine Chopin's precise word choice early in the story, her use of veiled hints, and describe her ability to "fool" her casual reader. What's the irony in her dramatic ending?

Answers

Answer:

The dramatic irony in the end is that the life of the protagonist's husband caused her death.

Explanation:

This question is about the short story "The Story of an Hour". At the beginning of the reading, we learned that the protagonist just received the news that her husband died. At that moment, we are led to believe, by the narration, that she is deeply sad, especially when the narration states that "She did not hear the story as many women have heard the same, with a paralyzed inability to accept its significance." However, we learned, throughout the story, that the character is very happy, because her husband's death means her freedom. She is so happy that she gets a big shock when she finds out that he is alive. This shock causes her to die shortly thereafter.

Jayden sows pea seeds and watches them grow into seedlings. To better understand photosynthesis, he keeps one pea plant under green light and the other pea plant under yellow light. What would likely be the result in a few days?
A.
Neither pea plants will conduct photosynthesis.
B.
The pea plant under yellow light will grow more than the pea plant under green light.
C.
Both pea plants will grow at the same rate.
D.
The pea plant under green light will conduct more photosynthesis than the pea plant under yellow light.
E.
The plant under yellow light will start wilting.

Tip
The color of light used for photosynthesis depends on the pigment in the plant.For example, green plants with chlorophylls and carotenoids have a maximum activity with violet-blue and red light. Basically, whatever color the plant is, that is the color of light that it is reflecting instead of absorbing and using for photosynthesis.

Answers

Answer:

The answer is B

Explanation:

Leaves are green because of the chlorophyll in them. So they are reflecting the light so we can see it. If the light is green, then it's reflecting all the green light so it wont grow.

Explanation:

Text-to-self connections are the most interesting for me. Books often provide me comfort and helpful tools to apply in my personal life. The Outsider made me think of my family, specifically my relationship with my brothers. I love both of them, but family issues, mostly related to financial problems, often get in the way of us having a good relationship. We fight a lot.
