第一个句子的主要语法点就是than 引导的比较状语从句,常与比较级连用例句中 than i expected 为比较状语从句.far在例句中为程度副词,修饰 more wonderful第二个句子的语法点就是表示次数的词组与完成时态的连用如 i have been to France three times.针对 three提问就变成了How many times have you been to France?至于后面那个句子为什么是一般过去时看 three years ago这个时间状语就知道了.第三个句子的语法点就是现在分词作状语伴随状语,这个猎人出现了,手里拿着一把枪.分词作伴随状语的句子可以用and 把主句和状语连接起来,中间加上分词的逻辑主语The hunter showed up,carrying a gun in his hand=The hunter showed up and （he ）carried a gun in his hand.这个是判断分词作伴随状语的好办法.第四个句子为How soon 引导的特殊疑问句的回答,how soon 解释为多块,回答为in 或者 within 、after+表示时间段的名词（如,in、within、after three hours）直接回答Soon（快了）也可以希望能帮到您

A Gender Bias Approach to Antigone
Just as one stone removed can break a bridge, one flaw can bring a man to ruins. The flaw... of one man cannot bring down an entire kingdom, but rather one outlook of the king can lead to the demise of the whole. In Sophocles' epic tragedy, Antigone, a strong gender bias is present throughout the tragedy, and is partially responsible for the downfall of the king.
To Sophocles the king is not always representative of the people, but acts on his own personal desires...

This notion of constantly trying to demonstrate excessive pride is consistently demonstrated in... the play Antigone written by Sophocles.
Throughout the play, the character Antigone constantly challenges the audience with her overconfident actions that may cause them to wonder if her actions are only to gain attention and seem suicidal or if her excessive pride is just a tragic flaw she must demonstrate in order to resolve an even larger conflict...
