The first sentence. It shows that the brothers are willing to hurt their relationship and each other for power.

Vanessa Golden · Answer 2

The actions that best support the theme that lust for power is stronger than family ties are:

The brothers fight each other for the throne. Both brothers die trying to gain power.

Explanation:

In these sentences, the family ties are established in the brotherly relations described. It can be concluded that the lust of power is stronger than these ties because both brothers want to get the throne: they fight in the first sentence, and they both die in the second sentence just trying to gain the power.
