Explanation:

Sophocles' play "Oedipus the King" follows the story of Oedipus, the king of Thebes, and his fate. He had unknowingly killed his own father, marrying his mother and thus, brought his own downfall.

The beginning of the play projects a scene where the citizens of Thebes have gathered in front of the palace. When asked by Oedipus why they are there, and in distress, the priest told him that they had been afflicted by a great plague that has killed many of them. He states "For our city, as you yourself can see, is badly shaken—she cannot raise her head above the depths of so much surging death", further stressing it as "deadly pestilence, that fiery god, swoops down to blast the city". So, they had come to their king, "our king, most powerful in all men’s eyes, we’re here as suppliants, all begging you to find some help for us, either by listening to a heavenly voice, or learning from some other human being".

Thus, the correct answer is option C.

don't submit such stupid questions!

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.
