Which is the BEST concluding statement for this paragraph?
refuses to give way to the insolent stranger. The two fight, and Oedipus
kills him. Only later does Oedipus discover that the stranger was
actually his long lost father.
Which common motif from mythology is most clearly shown in the story?
A. The dangers of arrogance
B. Physical transformation
C. Explanations of nature
D. The hero's journey
Answer:
A. The dangers of arrogance
Explanation:
Their arrogance is what led Oedipus to kill the stranger/ his father, so it makes sense that this would be the answer. Words such as "insolent" also support this conclusion because insolent means "showing a rude and arrogant lack of respect."
But just to confirm let's use process of elimination and take a look at the other ones
B. Physical transformation -- no one and no thing is changing their physical form
C. Explanations of nature -- there is no theme of natural events or any sort of interaction with nature
D. The hero's journey -- one could argue that this could be a step of the hero's journey but not to describe this one event
Hope this helps!

They both loved each other unconditionally. So much so, that they can not bear the fact of a life where the other does not exist, and that is why they end up killing themselves.
Answer:
A. Poems should be studied in many ways.
Explanation:
In his poem "Introduction to Poetry", Billy Collins emphasizes the need for patience and open-mindedness in reading or trying to understand poetry. In his opinion, he wants us to have an open mind and be free from any pre-notions when approaching poetry.
In the given lines, he states how a poem should be "hold up to the light/ like a color slide/ or press an ear against its hive". This means that like things that are put up to the light to be better understood and seen, poems should also be given the open-minded treatment with no pre-judgments. Thus, the central idea of the lines is that poems/ poetry should be studied and approached in many ways.
