Know the Answer?

Abbigail Rasmussen · Answer 1

I think the answer is D because a tragic hero is one that has a character flaw that leads o his own downfall. In D, the king's downfall is caused by his greediness.

Dakota Fitzpatrick · Answer 2

I think B, the other options show that the character took action after something bad happened to him/her, while B shows how an orphan tries to find his place in this world and that he encounters many obstacles, but he is still able to reunite with his family.
