Select the correct text in the passage.
in antigone. creon places greater importance on enforcing human civil law than honoring the gods. which lines in this excerpt from the play
reflect the overemphasis he places on civil law?
creon:
ocease, you vex me with your babblement:
i am like to think you dote in your old age.
is it not arrant folly to pretend
that gods would have a thought for this dead man?
of evils current upon earth
the worst is money. money 'tis that sacks
cities, and drives men forth from hearth and home,
warps and seduces native innocence,
and breeds a habit of dishonesty.
yea, as i still revere the dread of zeus,
by zeus i swear, except ye find and bring
before my presence here the very man
who carried out this lawless burial,
death for your punishment shall not suffice.
hanged on a cross, alive ye first shall make
confession of this outrage. this will teach you
what practices are like to serve your turn.
there are some villainies that bring no gain.

read this excerpt from “incidents in the life of a slave girl.”

i went about my evening work with trembling steps. mr. flint twice called from his chamber door to inquire why the house was not locked up. i replied that i had not done my work. "you have had time enough to do it," said he. "take care how you answer me! "

i shut all the windows, locked all the doors, and went up to the third story, to wait till midnight. how long those hours seemed, and how fervently i prayed that god would not forsake me in this hour of utmost need! i was about to risk everything on the throw of a die; and if i failed, o what would become of me and my poor children? they would be made to suffer for my fault.

at half past twelve i stole softly down stairs. i stopped on the second floor, thinking i heard a noise. i felt my way down into the parlor, and looked out of the window. the night was so intensely dark that i could see nothing. i raised the window very softly and jumped out. large drops of rain were falling, and the darkness bewildered me. i dropped on my knees, and breathed a short prayer to god for guidance and protection. i groped my way to the road, and rushed towards the town with almost lightning speed.
