(This will help my grade <3) In Antigone, Antigone argues with Creon during Scene 2. Why does Sophocles include this argument?

to show that neither Antigone nor Creon is capable of acting mercifully, which leads to both of their downfalls

to show that only the gods are capable of mercy, which is why Creon and Antigone are given opportunities to avoid their downfalls

to show that Antigone acted mercifully in giving her brother a burial, but Creon's lack of mercy leads to his and Antigone's downfall

to show that both Creon and Antigone acted mercifully, but Creon's excessive mercy is the source of his downfall

Read the excerpt from poe’s "the fall of the house of usher." his ordinary occupations were neglected or forgotten. he roamed from chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, an objectless step. the pallor of his countenance had assumed, if possible, a more ghastly hue -- but the luminousness of his eye had utterly gone out. which statement best describes the effect of the narration on the story? the narration reveals usher’s feelings of discouragement. the narration reveals usher’s absent-mindedness after his loss. the narration suggests usher’s confusion in the wake of his loss. the narration suggests usher’s mental decline after his sister’s death.
