1. Creon says of Antigone:“…of all the people in this city, only she
Has had contempt for my laws and broken it.”
Is this true? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: That is true, because she was the only one to understand the importance of divine laws as opposed to Creon's civil laws. He forbade her to give her brother a proper burial because he was a traitor, but she understood that it needed to be done so that he could be allowed to go to heaven, perhaps. The other people were afraid of Creon, and didn't want to interfere with his laws.

Which answer is correctly punctuated?Mexican food, in my opinion, is the most flavorful.
Mexican food, in my opinion is the most flavorful.
Mexican food in my opinion, is the most flavorful.
Mexican food in my opinion is the most flavorful.

Answers

Answer:

Mexican food, in my opinion, is the most flavorful.

Explanation:

The first sentence Mexican food, in my opinion, is the most flavorful is correct in it's use of the commas. The sentence can well stay independent even without the clause (in my opinion). But, with the addition of this phrase, it gives further description and meaning to the subject that is being talked about. This use of the dependent clause to further explain the sentence, also providing personal opinion,makes the sentence much clearer. Also, the use of the commas before and after the dependent clause, gives the correct form of the sentence. Thus, the subject is (Mexican food), clause (in my opinion) and the predicate being (is the most flavorful).
Mexican food, in my opinion, is the most flavorful.
