d) To engage readers with a humorous reflection of a well-known disagreement between two philosophers over an old myth

Answer:

B

Explanation:

I just took the quiz and it's not C finally got it correct on 2ed try, lol

The author’s intent in writing about the difference between Sophocles’ play and the original myth on which it’s based is to inform readers about how placing power in choice can make a story or myth more engaging. The correct option is b.

At the beginning of the play, Oedipus is the beloved ruler of Thebes, whose citizens have been afflicted by a plague.

Oedipus consults the Delphic oracle and learns that the plague will end only when the murderer of Queen Jocasta's first husband, King Laius, is apprehended and punished.

It tells the story of King Oedipus of Thebes, who discovers that he has killed his own father, Laius, and married his own mother, Jocasta, unwittingly.

The author's goal in writing about the differences between Sophocles' play and the original myth on which it is based is to educate readers on how putting power in the hands of the reader can make a story or myth more engaging.

Thus, the correct option is b.

Can you please put this mini paragraph in your own words

Every day, millions of students spend between six and eight hours in schools. They sit at their desks, listen to their teachers, and do their school work. In some of these schools, however, they are also forced to dress in school uniforms. This limit is really too much. In schools, students should not be forced to wear uniforms because they take away a student’s sense of individuality, they do not allow for self-expression, and they absolutely do not save families any money.

Dear Sam, A couple of weeks ago, I was tired all of the time. I would find myself dragging my feet during baseball practice. I was so tired that my mom said, "You look like one of those zombies from a horror movie. Your face is pale, your eyelids are drooping, and your words sound like mumbles." After she said that, I started going to sleep earlier every night. It wasn't easy to give up that time in my day, but I can tell it was worth it because my brain no longer feels like pancake batter! I can think clearly, and my coach told me I was fielding the ball better than ever. I suggest you get more sleep, Sam.

Mr. Phileas Fogg lived, in 1872, at No. 7, Saville Row, Burlington
Gardens. ... He was one of the most noticeable members of the Reform
Club,1 though he seemed always to avoid attracting attention; a
[mysterious) personage, about whom little was known, except that he was a
polished man of the world. ...
2 Was Phileas Fogg rich? Undoubtedly. But those who knew him best
could not imagine how he had made his fortune, and Mr. Fogg was the last
person to whom to apply for the information. He was not lavish, nor, on the
contrary, [greedy]; for, whenever he knew that money was needed for a
noble, useful, or benevolent purpose, he supplied it quietly and sometimes
anonymously. He was, in short, the least communicative of men. He talked
very little, and seemed all the more mysterious for his taciturn4 manner. His
daily habits were quite open to observation; but whatever he did was so
exactly the same thing that he had always done before, that the wits of the
curious were fairly puzzled.
3 Had he travelled? It was likely, for no one seemed to know the world
more familiarly; there was no spot so secluded that he did not appear to
have an intimate acquaintance with it. He often corrected, with a few clear
words, the thousand conjectures 5 advanced by members of the club as to
