Which line most accurately describes an important motif of the play? a. “something of 'following darkness like a dream,' / for that we're after." c. "this is some laureate at a birthday ode." b. "yet better on her stony threshold die, / than live unrevenged in muscovy." d. "transcending other creatures, day by day / beats himself mad with unavailing rage! "

answer; i believe the correct answer is ( indirect characterization);

well stockyards mean a large yard containing pens and sheds, typically adjacent to a slaughterhouse, in which livestock is kept and sorted. and i'm assuming that by party you   mean a large group of people which does make sense because chicago is a very crowded place much like new york. stockyards tend to take up a lot of room due to needing the area for pens to keep animals in and the fact that stockyards are usually right by slaughterhouse where they process and distribute the product. so its much like a zoo but with some dead animal products close by.
