In Sophocles's Antigone, Haemon emerges as the voice of reason in the face of his father Creon's obstinacy. Which lines in this

excerpt reflect Haemon’s reasonable nature?
HAEMON:
.
A).... The commons stand in terror of thy frown,
And dare not utter aught that might offend,But I can overhear their muttered plaints,Know how the people mourn this maiden doomed

B) O father, nothing is by me more prized Than thy well-being, for what higher good Can children covet than their sire's fair fame, As fathers too take pride in glorious sons?
,....
C) The wisest man will let himself be swayed By others' wisdom and relax in time. See how the trees beside a stream in flood Save, if they yield to force, each spray unharmed, But by resisting perish root and branch.
..
D)...The mariner who keeps his mainsheet taut,And will not slacken in the gale, is like To sail with thwarts reversed, keel uppermost. Relent then and repent thee of thy wrath.

Answer:

A).... The commons stand in terror of thy frown,

And dare not utter aught that might offend,But I can overhear their muttered plaints,Know how the people mourn this maiden doomed

Explanation:

In this excerpt, we can appreciate Haemon's reasonable nature, especially as opposed to his father Creon's obstinacy. In these lines, Haemon tells his father that he believes he should listen to the voice of the citizens. Although they are too scared to voice their opinions aloud, they are dissatisfied with the way Antigone has been treated, and they support her. Since Haemon respects the people's opinion, he is letting his father know.

What kind of evidence would best support the rebuttal? Select THREE options.
kirill115 [55]

The correct answers are A. statistics about how many hours teenagers need to sleep; C. Statistics about the sleeping habits of high school students and D. Information about the effects of sleep deprivation on teenagers

Explanation:

A rebuttal is an argument used to rebut or prove as invalid a counterclaim, in this case the rebuttal is "While it is true that changing class times poses logistical problems, the fact remains: students at our high school are not getting enough sleep, and this is affecting their ability to learn", which is probably an argument that answers a counterclaim based on the logistical problems of changing  class times. Similarly to the main claim and any other type of argument a counterclaim needs to be explained and supported using credible evidence which can include statistics, facts, expert words among others and should explain the main points that are part of an argument.

In this case, the argument focuses on showing the way students of high school are not sleeping enough and negative effects, this has, because of this, the author of this argument could use "A. Statistics about how many hours teenagers need to sleep" to show to the audience it is true teenagers do not sleep enough; "C. Statistics about the sleeping habits of high school students" to explain the way students sleeping habits in the school compare to others and strengthen the argument that students are not sleeping enough and "D.information about the effects of sleep deprivation on teenagers" to connect the previous information to the negative effects sleep deprivation causes and ratify to the audience the importance of changing class times.

Writing objectively can be a difficult skill to master, especially when you are writing about
Anna71 [15]

Answer:

Vegetarianism is, in general, the practice of living on a diet that does not include meat and even other animal products. There are, however, different kinds of vegetarian diets. Some may include eggs, for instance, while others may exclude eggs but include milk.

Explanation:

<u>Writing objectively means writing in an unbiased, impartial manner. The writer avoids manifesting his own opinion and ideas on the subject. If you read the answer above, you will see the sentences are all impartial. They contain only facts about vegetarianism, but no opinions about it are voiced. Therefore, they are examples of objective writing.</u> Compare them with the example below, which is written subjectively:

- Vegetarianism is too hard. I don't think I would last a week as a vegetarian.

See the difference? The subjective sentence above expresses a personal opinion.
