," she said. But Antigone would not have that. "She had no share in it," she told Creon. And she bade her sister say no more. "Your choice was to live," she said, "mine to die."

The answer is:

Antigone sacrifices herself for her beliefs, but will not sacrifice her sister as well. This reveals the universal theme of taking responsibility for one's actions.

In the excerpt from "The Royal House of Thebes," Antigone, with he help of her sister Ismene, offers a burial for her brother Polynieces, even though the king Creon has forbidden it. As a result, she accepts death herself but says to Creon her sister has had nothing to do with it. The reason is she does not want to see her sister dead, and prefers to lose her life for a good reason -like honoring her brother and the gods- rather than submit to Creon.

The motorcycle police were a coat of armor as they escorted buses bringing black students home from South Boston High School. Th

Answer:

The metaphor "were a coat of armor"highlights the protection black students needed during the school integration

Explanation:

A metaphor typically is used as a figure of speech to pass expression in a statement. Such expressions when considered on the surface do not speak to the issue on ground but do have implied meanings and can be easily interpreted.

An example used alot by teenagers in school is "the test was a breeze". Breeze and test obviously don't go hand in hand, but breeze in this instance gives expression to '"ease, simple, not a problem" about the test.

And in this question, we see the 70s and periods before then was a tense one for black integration. The opposition against the integration of the Blacks was obvious thus the court demanded some level of protection. The Police being drafted in to take on that responsibility was a great confidence booster that minimized the fear faced by Black students; hence that protective layer from the police can be described as a coat of armor. Remember a coat of armor is steel and Iron, it repels pellets, sword attacks and rocks hauled at it.

Which idea from this paragraph supports the claim that “smaller offices are more honest than big ones”? Small offices generally
pogonyaev

The idea that supports the claim that smaller offices are more honest than big ones is the last one, that small communities have more incentives against crime. The reason for this is that if a community has more incentives against crime than another, it is more likely to be more honest as crime is related to dishonesty and this is something the small communities try to avoid.
