A. ANTIGONE: Then why do you delay?

Explanation:

Sophocles' tragedy play "Antigone" revolves around the story of Antigone and her punishment for disobeying King Creon's edict. The play deals with themes of family love, loyalty, belief, and courage.

King Creon had issued a decree stating that anyone who dares to give a proper burial to "traitor" Polyneices must be put to death. And Antigone did just that, for she believes in obeying the laws of the gods rather than a mortal king. It was this act of betrayal that led to her arrest, which she calmly accepts but also boldly questions her uncle, the king's ways.

This bold reaction is best supported by her retort "Then why do you delay?", asking to be put to death immediately as per the order.

Thus, the correct answer is option B for the first question and option A for the second question.

she is outspoken and direct

it’s important not to respond to the bully because doing so generally just escalates the problem.

tell a trusted adult about what is happening and save the evidence. you should also let your internet or cell phone provider know, along with the operator of the site if it is happening online.

if the bullying continues, notify the local police and consider consulting an attorney if it becomes serious.

school authorities may also become involved if it involves students on campus.
