Something that opposes the central character, or the protagonist, must be its completely opposite counterpart, its enemy, so to say. So, the answer is 'antagonist'.
1. The correct answer is S-V-N.
S refers to subject, and if you take a look at the sentence, you will see that the subject IT comes first. It is then followed by V, which stands for verb. In this sentence, the verb is IS. The verb is followed by a noun phrase HYBRID CAR, which is a predicate nominative (a noun or phrase following a linking verb). Predicate nominatives are written as N.
2. The correct answer is S-V-A.
The layout of this sentence is similar to the first sentence. First, we have the subject (S) TRADITIONAL GAS-POWERED CARS, then we have the verb (V) ARE, which is later followed by an adjective phrase HARMFUL TO THE ENVIRONMENT. This phrase is a predicate adjective (an adjective or adjectival phrase following a linking verb), which is written as A.
3. The correct answer is S-V-O.
This is the most common structure of sentences in the English language. First, we have the subject HYBRIDS, then we have the verb PRODUCE, and then we have the direct object LESS POLLUTION, and later a phrase that we don't need to name. The object of a sentence is determined by asking the question What? (What do hybrids produce? - Less pollution), and it is written as O. IO stands for indirect object, which doesn't appear here.

Answer:
The photographs help me understand that Buster Keaton got the nickname “The Great Stoneface" because his facial expressions in the two photographs remained the same. He wasn't smiling or even looking bright and cheerful. Also, he wasn't looking like one who easily smiled or changed his facial expressions.
Explanation:
Buster Keaton is known to be "The Great Stoneface" because of the way he kept his face which looked the same. He seemed like he wasn't the smiling type of person. So, he seemed to have conditioned his facial expression the way it is. Anytime he is seen, he looks the same way.
