 In this excerpt from the poem "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant, the writer tells us that when we die, we will "sleep" with all kinds of elegant and important people. There will be "patriarchs" (meaning parents, heads of families or male leaders) long since when the Earth was young ("the infant world"). This section of the poem deals precisely with the idea that when we die we all lie down together in a large grave, the writer making it sound like something good.
  The answer to the meaning of the word infant has to do with the letter B) past.

The answer is: Morality outweighs human laws.

In the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes," Antigone buries her brother  Polyneices against King Creon's order. Therefore, she confronts Creon and claims that his refusal to provide Polyneices an appropriate burial goes against the natural and timeless principles of justice of the Gods.

Including Keffer's memory helps achieve the author's purpose because  the author's purpose is to inform, and this informs the reader about pedestrians, and what they should do! It's important to know what Keffer remembered because it helps achieve the authors' purpose, and adds on to more information mentioned earlier in the text. It also gives us Keffer's point of view!
