The opening scene in <em>Antigone</em> between Antigone and Ismene sparks the play's action (A.) by revealing Antigone's plan of burying her brother against the king's orders.

Sophocles' play<em> Antigone </em>starts with a dialogue between Antigone and her sister Ismene, where<u> Antigone tells her that she is determined to bury Polynices</u>, their brother, despite Creon's orders<u>. Ismene tells her sister that she will not help her to bury him and tries to convince Antigone to respect the law because</u> Creon had ordered to condemn to death to anyone that dared to bury Polynices since he had been a 'traitor'. Therefore, while Ismene is submissive to the king, <u>Antigone decides to break the law and pay obedience to a higher religious law instead</u>.

The detail which best show that the narrator's activism has changed practices in the community is this: 'three weeks later, two businesses had signed on and two more said they do think about it. This option is the correct one because it shows that two businesses in the community has implemented the desired change already and two more businesses are on the verge of doing the same, which means the narrator's activism is already generating positive results in the community. <span />
