Read the messenger's lines as he speaks to eurydice:

"we made our prayers in that place to hecate
and pluto, that they would be merciful. and we bathed

the corpse with holy water . "

which best identifies and interprets the allusion in these lines?

a) the allusion is to hecate and pluto, the gods of forgiveness; the sentry is implying that creon must show regret for his actions in order to be forgiven for his cruelty towards polyneices.

b) these are the gods who sent teiresias the warning about creon's actions; this shows that the sentry believes teiresias is an impostor who lied about the message he received from the gods.

c) the allusion is to hecate and pluto, which are the greek names for the afterlife; this implies that creon and his sentries are no longer welcome there because of how they have treated polyneices, haimon, and antigone.

d) the allusion is to hecate, goddess of witchraft, and pluto, god of the underworld; the sentry is implying that they have tried to make amends by burying the corpse of polyneices in as respectful a manner as possible.

In a sense we’ve come to our nation’s capital to cash a check. when the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the constitution and the declaration of independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every american was to fall heir. this note was a promise that all men—yes, black men as well as white men—would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. it is obvious today that america has defaulted on this promissory note insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. instead of honoring this sacred obligation, america has given the negro people a bad check, a check that has come back marked “insufficient funds.” but we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. we refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. and so we’ve come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and security of justice. in this section of the speech, analyze martin luther king’s connection between a defaulted promissory note and the lack of freedom experienced by african americans. which option offers the best analysis? question 3 options: mlk creates this analogy to communicate that america has enough freedom for all, but it needs to live up to its promises. mlk makes the analogy that america has run out of freedom. not everyone deserves to have it. mlk communicates that america should equally distribute funds to all citizens. everyone deserves equal access to the government’s money. mlk demonstrates that america is improving in equality and should keep the forward momentum.
