The statement that best explains the role of the tragic hero archetype in literature is the second one: the tragic hero’s role is to experience a downfall due to a personal flaw.

Aristotle describes the role of the tragic hero in his<em> Poetics</em>. He states that<u> the tragic hero is the main character of a tragedy, which also experiences a change of fortune from good to bad</u>. For that reason, he is the one whom the audience ends up feeling pity for. According to Aristotle, <u>this reversal of fortune is caused by a flaw in the character of the tragic hero</u>. <em>Hamartia</em> is another term used to refer to the main character's error. Two characters that can be considered tragic heroes are Oedipus and Creon, which are part of Sophocles' plays.

In addition, among employees who had volunteered, ninety-four percent said that it had benefited at work. Students looking to improve their resumes should consider volunteering. 

"In addition" seems like the best and most smooth-flowing in this case.
