In antigone, haemon emerges as a defender of the citizens' cause in the face of his father’s tyranny. which lines in this excerpt from the play reflect haemon’s respect for the theban citizens’ opinions?

haemon:
a.[and, as thy son,/ it falls to me to mark/ the acts, the words, the comments of the crowd./ the commons stand in terror of thy frown,/ and dare not utter aught that might offend,/ but i can overhear their muttered plaints,/ know how the people mourn this maiden doomed/ for noblest deeds to die the worst of deaths.]
b.[o father, nothing is by me more prized/ than thy well-being, for what higher good/ can children covet than their sire's fair fame,/ as fathers too take pride in glorious sons? / for whoso thinks that wisdom dwells with him,/ that he alone can speak or think aright,/ such oracles are empty breath when tried.]
c.[see how the trees beside a stream in flood save,/ if they yield to force, each spray unharmed,/ but by resisting perish root and branch./ the mariner who keeps his mainsheet taut,/ and will not slacken in the gale, is like/ to sail with thwarts reversed, keel uppermost.]
d.[relent then and repent thee of thy wrath; / for, if one young in years may claim some sense,/ i'll say 'tis best of all to be endowed/ with absolute wisdom; but,/ if that's denied,/ (and nature takes not readily that ply)/ next wise is he who lists to sage advice.]

Read this excerpt from white fang by jack london. the qualities in his kind that in the beginning made it possible for them to come in to the fires of men, were qualities capable of development. they were developing in him, and the camp-life, replete with misery as it was, was secretly endearing itself to him all the time. but white fang was unaware of it. he knew only grief for the loss of kiche, hope for her return, and a hungry yearning for the free life that had been his. which quotation from the paragraph supports the story’s theme of homesickness? “the camp life . . was secretly endearing itself to him all the time.” “but white fang was unaware of it.” “he knew only . . a hungry yearning for the free life that had been his.” “the qualities in his kind . . were qualities capable of development.”
