The correct answer is C: Antigone's action shows that she can break the rules for her principles, revealing that women are as capable as men. Facing Creon's tyrannical decision to leave their brother's corpse unburied, Isemene and Antigone have completely different reactions. Ismene feels that, as a woman, she cannot do anything; men rule, and her duty is to obey. Antigone, on the other hand, puts her duty to her brother above obedience to the law and rebels against Creon. She thus asserts her independence as a human being and goes beyond what her society would say is "appropiate" for a woman.

The Marlin fish in the story "the Old Man and The Sea" represents the biggest opponent of Santiago during his excruciating voyage that he ultimately beat but took no credit for that.

Answer: Option D

Marlin was a big fish in the story that was caught in the fish line of Santiago. being larger in size, it proved to be the toughest opponent for Santiago who kept on holding her for around two days and fort he third day and finally stabbed her on the third day. The fight for pulling Marlin into his yard presents a fair sketch of the troubles faced by common man in his life but he can overcome all of them only when he believed in his strengths.
