Answer:

a) She cares more about public opinion and approval than does Antigone, who always follows her heart.

c) She’s timid compared to Antigone, who is very bold.

d) She gives more weight to civil law over moral principles than does Antigone.

Step-by-step explanation:

In "Antigone," fearful Ismene wants to obey Creon and tries to persuade Antigone to follow his order. However, courageous and heroic Antigone wishes to give her brother a suitable burial because her moral principles consider that family is greater than law.
