1. Why is the windstorm significant in the development of the plot?

The windstorm is significant in the development of the plot because it became the main reason why the sentries<em> (guards)</em> were blinded while they were digging up the rotting body of<em> "Polynices." </em>

2. What explanation does the guard give for its cause?

The guard explained that "Antigone" is the culprit behind the illegal burial of Polynices (<em>Antigone's brother).</em> After the windstorm passed, the guards saw Antigone and she also saw them. The guards said <em>she then cursed them</em> and started burying the body again.

Explanation:

Antigone is a character is <em>Greek mythology</em>. She is the daughter of Oedipus and <em>Jocasta/Euryganeia. </em>

Antigone only wanted his brother to have a<em> respectable burial</em>. Thus, when she was asked by<em> Creon</em> whether she knew<u><em> it was forbidden to mourn for his brother,</em></u><u><em> </em></u>Antigone immediately admitted and said that she believes in the superiority of the divine law over the human law.

Plagiarism quiz
GaryK [48]
Something is plagiarism if one takes material from another source and uses it without pointing toward that source, thus making it appear that it is originally written.

1. No, this is not plagiarism since she herself is the original writer, thus she is not stealing content from anybody else.<span>

2. According to Casey Berry of Sciences Ltd., "Only 6% of students wash their hands after class." This first choice is not plagiarism, since the student has cited the researcher Casey Berry, and has enclosed the directly copied statement in quotation marks. In contrast, the second choice mentions "a recent study" without any direct mention of who did the study, and it copies the conclusion verbatim without using quotation marks.

3. This is not plagiarism, since she places a hyperlink to the source, thus acknowledging that what she has written is not her own original material. However, this is considered bad practice, to simply link to a source without describing what it has done or which parts specifically you have taken from it. You would not probably be sued in court for plagiarism, but it is still advisable to describe what the source has done.

4. No, this is not plagiarism. He has used quotation marks for direct quotes. The paraphrased information does not need quotation marks. Hyperlinks and attributions have been provided for each, so there are no issues with this kind of writing.

5. Yes, this is plagiarism. The BlogMutt writer got information from another post (which may or may not have been original material, we do not know), and did not attribute that post. Furthermore, this write-up is for a customer, not merely for discussion in forums, so pretending that the information on the post is his own is not only plagiarism, but it is also business dishonesty as he is stealing someone's work and selling it to a customer as his own.</span>

In at least one hundred words, discuss one of the themes expressed in Cervantes’s Don Quixote. Use evidence from the text to sup
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Society and Class is one of the themes of Don Quixote.

Explanation:

There are many themes in the "Don Quixote" by "Miguel de Cervantes" like Social and class, madness, loyalty, race, madness, morality.

Cervantes's novel shows the difference between the class of a person and his worth. In Don Quixote, Cervantes argues the traditional thinking that if a person is an aristocrat, he is respectable and noble. But Duke and Duches are frivolous and unkind though they are aristocrats in the story. On the other hand, though Sancho has low social status and is a farmer, he is wise and thoughtful.  

In Don Quixote, two people who love each other are asked to live apart  apart because of their social class and Cervantes also suggests that quality of a person is more important than his social class.
