Which statement tells events in the correct sequence?
Answer:
1. Nothing can be left in the past.
Explanation:
Ray Bradbury's "A Sound of Thunder" is a science fiction story set in the year 2055. It revolves around the story of a man going back into the past to enjoy hunting dinosaurs but ended up disturbing the past.
In the story, the character Eckles had hired a travel agency, "Time Safari Inc." to take him back to the age of dinosaurs so that he can go on a hunting expedition. While there, they began shooting the dinosaurs but were asked to retrieve the bullets as they cannot leave anything behind. The tour guide, Travis explains, "The bullets! The bullets can't be left behind. They don't belong in the Past; they might change anything."

Explanation:
two conflicts Antigone faces
Answer:
The two conflicts Antigone faces are the conflict between herself and Creon, symbolizing character v. character, and the internal conflict within her representing the character v. self conflict.
Explanation:
Sophocles' play "Antigone" revolves around the story of Antigone and her decision to go against the orders of the king, leading to her exile and death. The play deals with themes of family ties, loyalty, pride, gender, etc.
Despite the many conflicts in the play, two conflicts faced by the main protagonist Antigone are-
1. She had to decide whether to disobey the King's order. Even though the two dead men were both her brothers, King Creon had decided that Eteocles was a hero while branding Polyneices as a traitor. And in that order, the right to give a proper burial to the traitor was prohibited, with the decree that anyone disobeying the order be put to death. This presents a conflict between Antigone and Creon.
2. The second conflict is when she had to decide which major fundamental law she has to follow. Obeying the king's order will keep her alive, but her filial duty to her own blood, to her own brother couldn't make her ignore Polyneices's body rotting without a proper burial. This is an internal conflict in Antigone.

Which two sentences in these excerpts reflect the common theme of soldiers' reluctance to talk about their war experiences?
Answer:
Explanation:
Ambush
by Tim O'Brien (excerpt)
When she was nine, my daughter Kathleen asked if I had ever killed anyone. She knew about the war, she knew I'd been a soldier. "You keep
writing war stories," she said, "so I guess you must've killed somebody." It was a difficult moment, but I did what seemed right, which was to say,
"Of course not," and then to take her onto my lap and hold her for a while. Someday. I hope, she'll ask again. But here I want to pretend she's a
grown-up. I want to tell her exactly what happened, or what I remember happening, and then I want to say to her that as a little girl she was
absolutely right. This is why I keep writing war stories:
Symptoms
by John Steinbeck (excerpt)
if they had been reticent men it would have been different, but some of them were talkers and some were even boasters. They would discuss
their experiences right up to the time of battle and then suddenly they wouldn't talk anymore. This was considered heroic in them. It was
thought that they had seen or done was so horrible that they didn't want to bring it back to haunt them or their listeners. But many of these
men had no such consideration in any other field.
Only recently have I found what seems to be a reasonable explanation, and the answer is simple. They did not and do not remember--and the
the worse the battle was, the less they remember.
