Explanation:

1. From The Royal House of Thebes, Antigone accepts death for her moral duty to bury her brother, breaking Creon's rule. The warrior queen (from the partial excerpt) chooses death with her daughters, showing she breaks rules/sacrifices for principles.
2. Antigone is led to her death, facing downfall. The warrior queen prepares to drink poison, awaiting death.
3. Antigone's unjust fate and the queen's noble, tragic choice both evoke pity from the reader.

The first option is incorrect because the warrior queen's excerpt does not show her sacrificing only her life (she dies with her daughters), and the focus is broader than just her individual sacrifice. The last option is incorrect as neither passage shows the character sharing wisdom with others.

Answer:

• B. They both show the main character breaking rules to follow her own moral code.
• C. They both show the main character experiencing a downfall and awaiting death.
• D. They both show moments in the main characters' experiences that evoke pity.
