I only got two correct B and D but there is still one more

Answer 1

The conflict between divine law and human laws in 'Antigone, Part 1' is highlighted by Antigone's determination to please the divine entities she feels duty bound to, despite Creon's decree.

Step-by-step explanation:

The theme that divine law can conflict with human laws in Sophocles' Antigone is introduced through several details in Part 1. Apart from the selections B and D which you have identified correctly, there is another statement that supports this theme:

A. ANTIGONE

But I know

I’ll please the ones I’m duty bound to please.

This line suggests Antigone's commitment to the divine laws over the mandates of King Creon, representing the eternal and spiritual duties that she feels are more compelling than the temporary edicts of man-made government.
